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.

Help identify this spiny little gourd

14 years ago

Can anyone tell me what this is? Seed package only says "Wild Thing" and implies that it is an unedible cucumber.

But it looks like a little gourd to me. Anyone know the scientific name so I can look it up via USDA database.

Thanks for your help.

Rick
