Yay! My gourds are ripening. Shown in the photo from left to right: green-cleaned gourd that has dried for about two weeks, green harvested gourd with skin intact (uncleaned), green cleaned gourd ~24 hours after skin removal (cleaned), and a naturally dried gourd (cleaned). Naturally dried gourds deveop mold. Even when the skin and mold is cleaned off, neat mottling is left behind due to the staining of the mold. I have several more outside on the vine that I can't wait to get my greedy mits on! I don't know what I'll have my husband make with these, but whatever he makes is sure to be breathtaking.
