Annuals: drying gourds, 0 by roshana

Well, after all the wonderful information posted about ways to dry the gourds, I took the plunge. I tore strips of old sheets to use as hangers and hung the gourds in the garage. The only problem was with the powderhorn gourds. The strip just slid off those thin necks. So I stuck a straight pin through the cotton strip and into the gourd. I'm hoping that won't hurt anything. Thankfully they are at the back of the garage and nobody can see how goofy they look!

They probably can't stay out in the garage all that long since it's unheated. But I thought it was worth a try!
