Giant Apple Gourd

Originally called African Squares, these oddand very large apple-shaped gourds are popular at farm markets and roadside stands. IN your garden you'll notice that their vine growth provides excellent foliage coverage for the fruit. The four-pound fruit are medium green with darker green specks. They look kind of like giant green apples.

Inedible of course, but when dried they are popular with theh patchouli home crafting bunch and also used to be made into bodies for home-made hurdy gurdys.
