This gourd fellow is made with one of our giant bushel gourds. This is a big one, people! While I was mowing yesterday around the gourd field, I thought of all the wonderful, huge gourds that we have growing this year and all the people who might be interested in crafting a huge gourd, if they just knew how! So….we’re going to have a Gourdeners Day complete with a wagon ride to the gourd patch to pick out their gourd(s), and then give instruction what to do with the gourds when they are dry and ready to craft. I really like the idea and hope others will too! We are going to have to rope off the gourd patch though, so “random” visitors don’t just wander through, stepping on the vines and gourds, and literally ruining the crop. So….crime scene CAUTION tape will be put up to keep the just- lookers out of the gourds! Hopefully this will allow the gourds to maximize in size.
Let’s set a date of Sunday, October 10th. Come on out to Walters’ Pumpkin Patch and plan to spend the day. We’ll take you to the gourd patch for our 1st Gourdeners Day, let you pick your gourds (prices vary from $3.00 to $20.00), and then instruct you on crafting the gourd when they are dry.
Until next time….we’re down in the patch.
