8-29-08- Tommy and I spend a wonderful afternoon together gathering our harvest...we each selected our favorites to pose with. My back says we gathered over 250.
Organic Vessels gourd patch
April 10th-Thursday-o8- Planted 24 gourd hills at the shop in Hamilton. Seeds from gourds purchased from Welburn gourd farm in CA where used. (Bottle necks & Kettle's) I plowed several passes to break the soil to almost powder. 4 seeds in each hill.
(9-10-08) Thursday- I have been so busy I have not checked the patch in a while. To my surprise.....many where ready to be pulled. This is done when the vine is dead and the stem is brown. Over whelming joy struck me to find my Bottle-necks the same or larger than the original gourd the seeds where cleaned from.
I stopped gathering when a 2 day old fawn was flushed from a nap. He had been nestled by 3 Kettle gourds. I'm so happy that others are enjoying the patch. I only wish I had the camera out to capture the spotted baby.
