Garden Experiments

Gourds

20 years ago

I planted bushel gourds. What do I do now? When do I pick them. How do I dry and preserve them. Also, what am I going to do with them? Any ideas? So far they are about the size of a basketball. This one of those things that seemed like a good idea at the time.
