Here are all of my apple gourds and as you can see they have been scraped. I leaned to do this from a book on gourds that I found at the library. Once I scrape them I dry them with a clean towel and make sure they have plenty of air circulation. I also turn them every other day because mine are not hung in a netting but sit on a solid surface. Not every gourd you grow and try to dry is going to make it, some do and some don't. The ones in the back that are a light tan are almost dry, I will give them two more weeks before they are.
Oh by the way some of my egg gourd rippled because they were not mature enough but that was only two of them. The rest are doing fine and are ready for decorating.
The one in the back far left and the one in front on the right are bushel gourds.

IF YOU WILL NOTICE THAT I DON'T HAVE ALL THE BLACK MOLD SPOTS ON THEM,I WIPE THEM EVEYR TIME I TURN THEM.
