Pumpkins, Squash & Gourds

Help did I pick too soon

17 years ago

We planted lots of gourds...the decorative yellow/orange and green striped..I don't know their names. But we picked them all before the stems were dry. Now from reading I think we were supposed to wait. Is there anything I can do to salvage them for drying??????HELP...I guess I am still a city girl but trying.

Hey, City Girl,
What you have there are ornamental gourds. Its ok that you have harvested them already. They are only meant for a season, and you might as well start enjoying them in your autumn decorations.
