Last year, I had a couple gourds out as decorations with the pumpkins, after Halloween, I threw them under the back porch, and thought nothing of it, I figured they'd just rot or something?!
Then, Damian got his dogs..
They decided the gourds looked yummy.. and decided to eat them, they fertilized the seeds I guess, and, suddenly we had a plant growing, that I had no idea what it was, at first I thought cucumber? then I thought maybe pumpkins, or watermelon. You know, something useful! :D
Finally, it took over my yard, so I needed to cut it all down, I had still intended on using the gourds as decorations, but, some lovely neighbourhood child smashed them 2 nights ago. RIP Gourds!
