I know I said in a previous post that I was going to try to post some pics of the gourds I have growing and Blogger wouldn't let me...let's give that a go again.

It turns out that i have about 3 or 4 of the 'bird house' gourds growing and getting huge, just like they're suppose to. I think I'll give those to my elderly neighbor across the street when they get picked. He loves making bird houses out of them, plus, I don't know what to do with them other than use them for decorating. The striped gourds I picked, as well as a yellow bumpy goard, and put them in this arrangement:
Along with my dried hydrangeas (from plants that are now DEAD, thanks to a huge-ass barberry bush that took it over and killed it...grrr, I HATE that barberry bush, but my hubs loves it and begs me not to chop it down or cut it up. Every spring AND fall, I prune that sucker down so much I think, 'surely THAT will kill it!' and then I could say 'oops, hun, I'm sorry, I didn't know it would kill it,' but it never does...it lives on to kill again!). The large white gourds were grown by my bestie and given to me the other day. I just LOVE them. They all make a great center piece for my kitchen table. This pic was taken before I put the striped gourds in, but you get the idea.
