September 30, 2005 - Gourds
Here is this year’s gourds drying down own the vine.
We’ve found that the best way to dry the gourds is to leave them outside over the winter. We’ve tried bringing them in the barn or house, but they just seem to rot. So outside they will hang.
See the August 26th entry for the gourds in full spendor.
We’re working on making the gourds into useful items - the obvious one is bowls (maybe we’ll get beyond that this year!).
Here’s a seasonal display using the miniature corn and gourd bowl.
