Great. We can compare notes. :-) Regarding the time from seed to harvest.
This time is until the first gourds bearing 'hard' shells are ready. The time
until harvest would be considerably shorter for use as food. All gourds
should be used when young as they are inedible when they reach a mature hard
shelled size. Also the skins are tender and thin until they start to mature.
Basically, if you cannot puncture the skin easily with a fingernail the gourd
is too large to use for food purposes.
