My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

A gourd with a very nice odor.

21 years ago

In the early 30's my grandmother used to carry a gourd in her purse, she called it a pocketbook, that really perfumed everything. She called it a pocketbook melon but I'm sure it was a gourd. Does anyone have a name for this? A source for seeds?
