Beautiful work on the gourd. Gourds are easy to grow Pegi. I soak the seed for 24 hrs in water and peroxide, then nick the side with finger nail clippers, then soak it again for a few hours, then plant in very sunny place. They are vines and can be trained to go up a trellis or fence but I find most of them get very heavy and bend over so I just let them grow on the ground, not much in the way of critters bother them.
I loved all the Santas too.
