[Nfb-krafters-korner] gords

[ncbootman at gmail.com]

You don't decorate gourds until they have dried. Some times, you'll even 
have some that rot before they dry and must be thrown out. Once they are 
hard and dry, you clean and cut or decorate or just keep them as 
decorations. You can use them in fall arrangements while they are drying 
too. Every fall, all the grocery stores and farmer's markets have small 
decorative gourds for sale. Some look like pumpkins and every other shape 
imaginable.

How do you keep them from going bad, after all that work of carving them and 
decorating them?  They do grow, so are a plant of some kind!

Yes. Gourds come in everything from white, cream, tan, yellow, oranges, and 
any combination. The colors become less brillian once they dry usually from 
my experience, but it is still there. They come in every texture, size, 
shape, and you never know what you'll get exactly since each one is unique 
in some kind of way.

Ramona:

I've only seen a few gord plants, but it seemed that they vined everywhere.

A friend of mine would plant small gords and morning glory on the same
fence.  They looked nice vining together.

Do you know if they come in different colors?

I can't wait to see what you do with them.

I am going to see the gord lady (that's what she calls herself) tomorrow to
pick up some plants.  She said she started some that would grow large and
plants that would produce different shapes of gords.  So I am excited!
