Please remember to have your gourds spayed or neutered

So last year Big Bud went on a kindergarten trip to Treworgy's orchards where they were able to pick one apple and one pumpkin. Woo hoo, thought I, being the snotty wanna-be farmer that I am. They also got to pet a goat and look at baby chicks. Pffft, big deal.


So we went home and displayed his "pumpkin" on the sink window sill until it went a little punky. Then I threw it in the compost pile.

One year later, we have gourds....lots and lots of gourds.



Smiles from the farm,
Lisa

    Hey, that is kinda like momma rocks and daddy rocks on our farm. That is the only explanation for all the little baby rocks all over the place!

    Love your new blog "look" for the Halloween Season. Do goats eat gourds? They look great all lined up on your rail. Any great auction buys latley? Hugs, Kathleen

    I'm jealous of your pumpkins! We tried growing some 2 years ago and the deer ate them all, so T has since refused to plant them again. :-(

    I have to get a compost pile so I can grow gourds too. We seem to feed just about everything to the chickens. Do you think they have ittty bitty gourds growing out of their butt?
