Gourds are one of the oldest cultivated crops that are believed to have spanned the
entire globe in prehistoric times. They were known mostly by cultures in temperate and tropical zones because this is where
gourds grow best. Gourds were most commonly used for storing supplies, hauling water, making cooking and eating utensils,
musical instruments, bird feeders,bird houses, and rattles. Today gourds are still considered one of nature's greatest gifts
to mankind.
