Sarah TaberIn honor of Halloween, it's time for GOURD FACTS.
For every donation to the link below I will post one (1) fact about gourds, pumpkins, squash, and all the ways we use them. It's a really useful family of plants!
We don't know for sure, but two things are definitely true about bottle gourds.
-They float
-They can dry up & hold their seeds for a really long time.
Barry Goldman@sarahtaber i remember buying some curvy 3ft long 6" thck yellow ones in college. kept them around as pets. eventually we had a sword battle with 2 of them...
but the third lasted for YEARS one day i noticed it was getting wrinkly and feared it would collapse in iccor so i cut it open. no, still just SLOOOWLY drying out. amazing.
