(A lot of interesting stuff hidden inside.)
I think I'll have enough Hen's Nest Gourds to do most anything I take a notion to do with them.They were every where. It was like pulling a string of Christmas lights out of the overgrown flower bed.They kept coming.

Hen's Nest Gourds? What are they Sue? And better still, what do you do with them?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there are others who decorate them in various ways, but I just grew them for the novelty of it. You could put a few in an old egg basket just for looks.You could make Christmas ornaments out of them.You can paint on them.Or you can even use them in the hen's nest so as not to leave your fresh eggs under her another day for a nest egg.I have enough now, that i won't need to grow any more for awhile.I like to try a new plant each year.
