Nest Egg Gourd is one of those old-fashioned heirlooms that is both practical and fun to grow.  Once common on late-19th and early-20th-century farms, these vigorous vines were often trained along fences, where they produced astonishing numbers of smooth, white, egg-shaped gourds—so convincing they look like freshly gathered eggs piled in a bowl.

And convincing they are. We learned that firsthand when one hill yielded hundreds of gourds in a single season. That summer, we had young hens just coming into lay, and we used these “eggs” to train them to use their nesting boxes instead of, say, an upturned bucket in the darkest corner of the barn. They worked perfectly—so well, in fact, that we fooled ourselves more than once, thinking we’d found the first eggs from the new flock.

Come fall, that one hill yielded the most fruitful Easter Egg hunt ever, with each kid lugging in a huge basketful of gourds to be dried and later used for crafts.  I'm still finding them—behind the couch, under beds—I guess the egg hunt is mine now.  Anyway, if you are looking for a rare heirloom that is practical, productive, and so much fun to grow, Nest Egg Gourd is a great pick. 

Seed stock generously shared with us by renowned seed preservationist, John Coykendall.  Seed savers please take note that this variety is of the species C. pepo and should be isolated from pumpkins, zucchini, etc. when grown for seed.

Protection with days of white residue
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Mineral sunscreens have yet to master blending in and this is no different. If you're thinking of hitting the beach with your sexy bum protected it'd better be a ghost beach because you'll look like you've been dipped in white paint. Oh, and it doesn't wash off, so be prepared to look like Casper for days to come. It rolls on fine if you shake it well first and it does protect.

Great Mineral Facial Sunscreen
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is the best mineral facial sunscreen I’ve used. It comes out as a thin lotion that spreads easily. I have used two other brands and considered a brand that was expensive before trying this. I liked baby bum mineral 50 sunscreen lotion for the body and decided to give this a try. I like sun bum products. They tend to make effective products that are not too expensive. The zinc oxide mineral facial sunscreen I was using slightly irritated my skin and felt heavy like a mask after applying. It left a greasy residue on my face. This sun bum facial mineral sunscreen is non-irritating and feels very light like a chemical-based facial sunscreen. It leaves no residue on the skin. I prefer zinc oxide mineral sunscreen because it’s natural, safe and effective. Some zinc oxide mineral sunscreens put a white caste on the skin after application. The titanium dioxide and zinc oxide blended mineral sunscreens are worse due to the titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide is a bright-white powdered substance, and I have not experienced any product with this ingredient that doesn’t appear white on the skin and cannot be blended. This sun bum zinc oxide mineral facial sunscreen has no white caste. Like another reviewer, I also hope that sun bum continues to make this facial mineral sunscreen indefinitely. It’s the best I’ve ever tried and at an excellent price point. If you like mineral sunscreens due to the health and environmental concerns with chemical-based sunscreens, try this before trying more expensive mineral facial sunscreens.
