Since I don't have goblin egg gourds yet I cannot post a picture at this time but watch this space for pictures by the end of next summer.
Goblin egg gourds are small gourds, usually yellow and green, and they are so small that they fit in an egg carton.
My Amish friends sell the goblin egg gourds in their vegetable stand in summer, but their supplier no longer sells the seeds and thus started my long internet search for goblin egg gourd seeds.
The seeds are not cheap. They can be up to a dollar per seed depending on where you get them.
I stumbled upon a few online stores that sold the seeds for 25 cents per seed but a quick google search told me that they weren't legitimate stores. When it's too good to be true then it probably is too good to be true. Remember this when shopping online.
I also found a store based in Canada that's legitimate but after contacting them I found out that they don't ship to the US.
My search eventually ended at educared and oh am I ever glad I landed there.
In a world where profit wins over kindness it has become rare to find sellers who will go the extra mile but they're still among us and I found one!
The seller worked with me to get me the best possible price, and he gave me an extra package of seeds for free. The seeds were shipped within hours even though it was a Holiday week. They arrived today in neat packages and it's one thing less to search for.
Given that I plant a few vegetables that cannot be found in the average garden around here, as well as the fact that I help my Amish friends finding seeds, the yearly seed hunt can actually be stressful at times.
Thank you Sam at https://educared.net/ for working with me to make at least one part of this yearly seed hunt a bit less stressful. And to whomever reads this, check out this store. They have some unique seeds that can be difficult to find elsewhere.
