Sounds as though you are a 'herbs' person Mary...you can grow peanuts? Good luck with your gourds..I've tried to grow them often as I love painting on them but our season is just too short..tried starting them early in the house but just didn't work out...we have a lovely gourd shop just outside of Barrie here...all the items aren't overly expensive so a trip now and then seems to work...I've a long snake gourd, lordy must be 45" long..keep wanting to turn it into something but so far it just sits there...the establishment that sells gourds also has classes and they do a 'rain stick' seminar..not exactly what I want to paint but it would be better than nothing...also thought of doing a condo bird feeder..

What do you do with the gourds you grow Mary?
