  • Calabash — Another name for bottle gourd, often used for dried, mature fruits

We train ours over an old wooden arbor—by midsummer the white flowers glow in the evening light, and the dangling gourds look almost magical.

Long Bottle Gourd Calabash Opo Squash is a productive garden favorite that delivers fresh, nutrient-rich harvests you can enjoy all season long. Easy to grow in containers, raised beds, or traditional gardens — perfect for home cooks and gardeners who want the unmatched flavor of homegrown produce.

This variety thrives in USDA zones 3-11 depending on your climate, and adapts beautifully to indoor and outdoor growing. Start from seed for the most rewarding gardening experience — there is nothing quite like nurturing a plant from its very first sprout.

🌱 Step-by-Step Growing Guide

1. Seed Prep and Sowing: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost, or direct sow after soil warms to 60F+. Soak larger seeds overnight for faster germination.

2. Planting and Container Setup: Full sun (6-8+ hours daily). Use rich, well-draining soil amended with compost. Space according to variety — containers (10-20 gallon) or raised beds work great.

3. Germination and Early Care: Expect sprouts in 5-14 days at 65-80F. Keep soil evenly moist. Thin seedlings to proper spacing — crowded plants produce less.

4. Growth and Maintenance: Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize every 3-4 weeks with balanced organic fertilizer. Watch for common pests and use companion planting.

5. Harvesting: Harvest regularly when produce reaches desired size — frequent picking encourages continued production. Morning harvest gives the freshest, crispest results.

💡 Pro Tips for Every State

  • Midwest and Northeast: Start indoors in March-April for strong transplants. Use cold frames or row covers to extend the growing season.
  • South and Southwest: Direct sow once soil warms above 60F. Provide consistent irrigation in summer heat for best production.
  • Container and Balcony Growers: Grow in 10-20 gallon containers on sunny balconies. Cherry and compact varieties are perfect for small spaces.

🍳 Easy Recipes and Creative Uses

  • Garden-Fresh Salad: Harvest and toss together a nutrient-rich salad with crisp leaves, herbs, and a light vinaigrette
  • Homemade Stir-Fry or Soup: Dice fresh garden vegetables into quick stir-fries, soups, or one-pot meals for healthy weeknight dinners
  • Pickling & Preserving: Preserve your harvest by pickling, fermenting, or freezing — enjoy homegrown flavors all year round

📋 Care and Storage

  • Store unused seeds in a cool, dry place — sealed container in the fridge extends viability 2-3+ years
  • Water consistently — morning watering prevents fungal issues and keeps plants hydrated through the day
  • Mulch around plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature
  • Check your USDA hardiness zone at planting time for the best results in your specific region

📅 Seasonal Planting Calendar

Strategic seasonal planning ensures maximum productivity from your garden throughout the entire year. Start cool-season crops (lettuce, spinach, peas, radishes) 4-6 weeks before your last frost date for spring harvest, then succession plant every 2-3 weeks for continuous harvests. Transition to warm-season varieties (tomatoes, peppers, squash) after all frost danger has passed and soil temperatures reach 60°F or above. Extend your growing season by 4-8 weeks using cold frames, hoop houses, or floating row covers that protect crops from early fall frosts. Plan a fall garden by starting cool-season crops again in mid-to-late summer for autumn and early winter harvest. Cover crops like crimson clover or winter rye planted in empty beds during dormant months prevent erosion, suppress weeds, and fix nitrogen naturally, preparing the soil for next season's planting without synthetic fertilizers.

⭐ Quality Assurance & Satisfaction Guarantee

We stand behind the quality of every product in our catalog with a comprehensive satisfaction guarantee. Each batch undergoes careful inspection before packaging to ensure it meets our strict quality standards for freshness, purity, and viability. Our sourcing partnerships prioritize sustainable, ethical production methods that respect both the environment and the communities involved in cultivation and processing. Customer feedback drives our continuous improvement process — we carefully review every review and rating to identify opportunities for enhancing our products and services. Detailed product information, usage guides, and growing tips are provided to help you achieve the best possible results. Contact us with questions, suggestions, or feedback at any time — we genuinely value the relationship we build with every customer and are committed to your long-term success and satisfaction.

🌤️ Microclimate Optimization

Understanding and leveraging your garden's unique microclimates can dramatically improve growing success. South-facing walls absorb and radiate heat, creating warm zones perfect for heat-loving varieties and extending the season. Areas under tree canopies offer dappled shade ideal for woodland species and heat-sensitive crops during summer. Low-lying garden spots tend to collect cold air (frost pockets) and moisture — position cold-hardy varieties here and reserve higher ground for frost-sensitive plants. Use thermal mass elements like stone pathways, water features, or dark-colored containers to absorb daytime heat and release it gradually overnight, buffering temperature swings by 5-10°F. Install a simple min/max thermometer at plant height in different garden zones to map your microclimate variations and make data-driven planting decisions that optimize each variety's placement for peak performance.

😍😍 BEST DEBUT NOVEL EVER
Format: Paperback
I’m having trouble finding accurate words to describe the way this book made me feel, but I am going to do my best. To start off with basic elements, the character and world building are phenomenal. I feel a strong bond to not only the two main characters, Ara and Rogue, but to each and every character introduced throughout the book. The author did a stellar job of giving each of them unique personhood. All of the scenes are beautifully described. So much so that throughout the entirety of the book, I could see every scene: the towns, the castles, the meadows, the landscape. I have had difficulty with this and with distinguishing between outlying characters while reading in the past, but I did not have to think to remember details of world or character building because they flowed naturally within the story and were described well. I have read book series before that made me want to be a part of that world, but I actually felt like I got to step into Auryna and Ravaryn! The plot twists!! Although this is not a suspense novel, it still had me on a rollercoaster of emotions and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I haven’t cried actual tears over a book since I was in high school (and I’ve read a LOT). This book finally broke the floodgates in the final few chapters. Multiple times. And we love a good cliffhanger. It truly made me FEEL. THE SPICE is a solid 3.5/5. Some of the scenes had me flushed, some had me taking notes, some just had my jaw slack and my mouth hanging open. Bravo, JD Linton, bravo. The relationships: friendships, family, romantic, ALL of the relationships in this book have so much meaning. The author does a great job at making you feel the love, the anger, the peace, the frustrations, the safety, the familiarity, etc. between the characters. Ara and Rogue. I can not say enough and I also do not want to say too much. Just know that I feel like I know them both, to their core. I know what their childhood looks likes, their darkest moments, their biggest fears, their dreams and passions, what they want in life… The POV switches were seamless. I am so happy this author decided to let us see from both sets of eyes. I can not wait for book two after that cliffhanger. And there is SO much potential for at least one prequel, I can’t wait to see where this author goes! I hope this series continues and flourishes. Fingers crossed!

Amazing!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This book was phenomenal, I devoured it within a few days! For this being a debut novel, it is fantastic and I would’ve thought the author was a seasoned author. I have zero complaints about this book. Let me start by saying that the world building was phenomenal. I could picture everything in my head because of how detailed it was — that’s how good it was written. And I absolutely love the “captive/captor” trope so much, it’s become one of my favorite tropes, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book had that. I loved the banter between Rogue and Ara — they’re both snarky and witty, plus with the romantic tension, it made the dialogue that much better. Speaking of romantic tension, yes there is spice but not so much of it that it overrides the plot, which I loved. For me, this would probably be on the 3/5 level of spice. This book had a ton of plot twists and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

High on Tropes and Satisfaction
Format: Kindle
This is a great Romantasy book full of action, adventure, and everything you look for in this genre. I won’t lie: it does kinda feel like the author found every common trope from every successful book of this kind and threw them all into this novel. But if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Especially in romance, there’s a large audience who has specific expectations, and they want them every time. Nothing wrong with that and many times I’m one of them. I have no idea what defines a spoiler honestly, so spoiler alert!!!!!!! Tropes include: Only one bed at the inn/bar Dissatisfaction with life before hunk appears Lost royalty The chosen one Montage of dress up time followed by shocked hunk Forbidden romance between two from rival peoples Power that cannot be controlled, simply guided/asked Gathering intel at the inn/bar FMC who knows how to fight/use weapons well There’s probably more but no need to list them all. Good story and I would recommend!

AMAZING debut novel!!!
Format: Kindle
Plot ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spice 🌶️🌶️.5 Romance 💘💘💘 Vibes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dual 1st person POV - Ara (26) & Rogue (39 - but looks mid-20s: they can live hundreds of years so this isn't that large of a gap as it could've been which I heavily appreciate lol) Tropes: enemies to lovers, fae/human wars (deep hatred for each other), shifters (dragons- MMC can only partial shift with wings), one horse, one bed, touch her and d!e, found family, abduction turned to freedom The Last Storm is the debut novel from JD Linton and let me tell you, you guys NEED to read this. The plot was engaging and the editing was was amazing (especially for a debut novel). Our FMC, Ara, is stuck in her gilded cage longing for a life outside of her small town. She uses her books to escape and live vicariously through the pages (honestly, relatable). After her father announces her betrothal to her childhood friend (to whom she has no romantic feelings for), Ara tumbles unknowingly into a desperate plot trying to stop the humans from slaughtering the Fae. As one can expect from an enemies to lovers / kidnapper/captive romance, Ara fights her attraction and lust towards our MMC, Rogue (the King of the Fae), for as long as she can. Upon seeing Ara for the first time, Rogue is instantly aware that she is his fated mate (not a spoiler). Since she is the General's only daughter, he plans to abduct her and use her as leverage to stop the brutality. During Ara's time in Rogue's captivity, their banter and chemistry continue to rise until they finally boil over and come together (quite literally, and many times I may add 😉). Here's what I LOVED: - Rogue continuously seeks advice from his elders and deeply respects their opinions and life experience and tries to implement their recommendations - Rogue makes many mistakes in the beginning but we see him actively work on not repeating them as the book progresses. The level of self-awareness and his ability to change his behavior was impressive - The magic system is intricate and we have only scraped the surface. As the series continues and Ara progresses in her powers, I'm sure we'll get to see more of this. I absolutely LOVE the messaging system that is used in this book. - Ara's struggles are so human and so raw. She is experiencing so much guilt and pain and hurt and getting to see her work through each of these emotions is inspiring. Especially as her and Rogue get closer and she learns she can lean on him as well, that she is not alone. - While this is the start of a series, there is NO cliffhanger! There's a bit of a teaser of something major that is going to happen at the start of the next book, but it's not a cliffhanger in the sense that we aren't sure if someone is going to live or d!e or if they'll be separated. For that, I am very thankful! This book was so much fun that I will definitely be returning to book 2, even if it takes several months (or longer since this is an debut author) to publish! - Lastly, the cover is GORGEOUS! And I love the title! I'll copy a few of my favorite quotes below so you can have a little taste of the author's writing and the world she's cultivated. 😊 Top Highlights from The Last Storm On days like this, when my heart was heavy and my mind clouded, I resorted to books— to escape, to forget, to find freedom where I had none. If I were to marry him, my face would always be turned to the window, searching for more, and if not that, I would be a shell of the person I am now. I stepped back to admire her, thr0bbing at the sight. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. To ever exist. Nothing, no one, had ever deserved to be worshiped more. All men should be made to kneel before her. But she would have to settle for me. The taste of her met my t0ngue as my scent merged with hers, forever branding her. Mine. I l!cked the wound. Hers. Completely and utterly hers. I didn’t claim her in ownership. I claimed her as my one. Devoted myself to one. With that mark, my body and soul were bound to her. I would never be with anyone else, emotionally or physically. It would be her or no one, until my last breath. “Scream my name. Let everyone know who I belong to.” I had never really cared about the weather before, but now, clear skies meant everything to me, and I was grateful to see another calm morning. “There will never be another woman for me.” He paused. “Ever.” I stilled at his words. “What… Why?” “This”— his thumb slid down across the mark—“ is a symbol of… surrender. I know you believe that it was my claim upon you, but it wasn’t. It never was. I bound my body and soul to you, little storm.” “I also know that it is more than this tiny, insignificant mark on your skin that binds me to you. It’s you. All of you. Your strength and resilience. Your determination to endure no matter what fate throws at you. Your love for love and stories and hope. You are entirely the opposite of everything that I am and I would gladly wear your shackles if it meant I could have you.” My mate. Mine. And then everything shifted and I understood. I understood everything. The surrender. The deep, soul-craving longing. Bound. I was bound to him. Body and soul. Entirely his. “I would’ve waited forever,” he whispered back, understanding. Seriously, everyone.. add this to your TBR!!

A Decent Fae Romance
Format: Kindle
** 3.5 Stars rounded up to 4 ** First off I want to say that I found the author, J. D. Linton, on TikTok right before the release of the sequel. I bought the first 2 books to support her release, so congrats to her for the release of the sequel! Overall, I liked the story & plot, I liked the characters, and I liked the spice. The downfalls: not enough development between the characters for the romance, and it leaned a little heavy into the tropes. A lot of stuff is told to you, which could have been used as devices to drive the plot and emotions of the characters. 🛑🛑 Mild Spoilers ahead, I tried to hide the obvious ones 🛑🛑 This is very obviously a fated mates, which is a trope I usually really enjoy. But I wish the relationship between Ara & Rogue had much more development before it's realized that they're mates, instead of Rogue knowing almost immediately and using it for nefarious purposes (at least in the beginning before they get to know each other). By revealing this within the first quarter of the book, I feel like it leaves less room for them to fall for each other organically (albeit with help from the mating bond) and they love each other because of the mating bond. I was disappointed as soon as Rogue know (literally only 5% in) and I literally made a note: "As much as II love a good mating trope, I wish we had to work for it a little more. Where's the fun in just telling us?" I believe that by holding out and feeding the reader snippets of a potential bond, it would've been more rewarding as a reader. I also wish there was more world building - we are told of a war between human & fae but don't get to really experience any of it. Ara is sheltered in her human home, then sheltered in Rogue's castle. There's bits and pieces about what the war has done on either side - but we're more told of the aftermath and don't really experience any of it. Ara's father is supposed to be the king's #1 general - yet he is at home with his family & with Ara for the first couple chapters. Her, her family, nor her village seem to be affected by the 10 year war going on on their borders. I wish there was a little more setup to make this conflict - an actual war - feel more than a skirmish between fighting territories. Linton could also be a little repetitive - with the biggest culprit being when Ara is upset she "brings [her] knees to [her] chest]" and either sits like that or cries. Every time she is upset this phrase is mentioned. I would get it if this was her crutch, or how she copes with grief and stress, but that should be explained why she does it so often or it becomes repetitive. I started to get annoyed with how often she would sit like this solely because it happens every couple chapters. However, I did really like the spice. I love an enemies to lovers trope, especially when it results in spicy scenes. The spicy scenes weren't anything new, but they were fun. Wish there were more but that could also just be me - there is no such thing as too much spice 😂 Would I read again? Probably not, I'm super picky with rereads. Although I did genuinely enjoy my first read through! Will I continue the series? Probably, at least for the sequel. As for #3, kind of depends on where I am with my TBR once that is released All in all an enjoyable, fast paced read
