Q: I would like to purchase a variety of fancy / exotic gourd seed. I need to find a source that will sell enough for several acres. Most of the seed catalogs sell packets with only a few seed per pack.

A: Main Street Seed & Supply in Michigan sells them for $20 – $27 per pound (ask for a discount from the higher Internet price).

Call The Gourd Place in Sautee

and Adams – Briscoe Seed in Jackson

for more options.
