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,

  6. 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. :-(

  7. 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?
