I love warty, colorful, mis-shapen gourds around fall time!
Two years ago I stupidly tried to save some because they were just so darn cute. (and only like a buck each so I don't know why I tried?) - by popping them into one of my halloween/fall storage containers and forgetting about it until last year. When I opened up that storage container so excited to transition my house to pumpkinville I ended up being completely grossed out and disapointed with what I found.
Moldy covered everything. My dang gourds rotted. (of course)
So, the beauty of having an empty lot behind us- I threw all of that moldy sickness out and thought nothing of it!
Until- dot dot dot
A month or so ago we found a strange plant kabooming in the lot behind us. This monster is literally over 20 feet long.
GOURDS!
(if you have to know- yes, my hair is not brushed. or washed. or even thought about for at least 3 days when this picture was taken)
27 gourds and counting!
What fun:) Sorry you had moldy yuckiness, but yeah for more gords!
