SC - Re: period pumpkin recipies

At Baker Creek Heirloom seeds, i looked on the curcubit page, but 
didn't see anything that looked likely. Are gourds somewhere else 
on-line or do i need to order a hard-copy catalog?

For Pinetree seeds, try:
http://www.superseeds.com

(Aelfwyn left off the www. part)

I found the Italian edible gourds as cucuzzi at Pinetree.

What are other current names of the Old World edible gourds?

I'm beginning to think i may be growing my own, if i get an ok from 
my landlord. Eek!

So, Medieval gardeners, how difficult and how fussy are these Italian 
gourds? I'm really clueless with plants. It they can't say they're 
hungry, or meow, or something, i often forget to "feed" them. I'm in 
NoCal (not far from Lord Cariadoc, but definitely a different 
micro-climate - not so hot, more cloud-cover. The Pinetree page says 
55 days, i assume (in my gross ignorance) that it's more or less how 
long they take to grow until edible...

Help, please...
