New Gourden for 08 ! (originally posted 3/6/08)


This is my new Gourden. My old gourden was scattered across different parts of the yard. I planted too late and the fruit and plants whithered. My new gourden has been centralized and planted on time. These wine barrels were a free roadside score and I rolled them home by myself and cut them in half with a skillsaw. The clay chimney links were actually part of my house's vent system when we moved in. I've arready seeded (including some special seeds Lo-Rizzle and Sissy got me from a gourd farm). The little green dying things are Job's Tears that I salvaged from the front yard. They never yielded their naturally occurring, self-hollowing bead that I plan to use on the netting of the Shekeres I plan to make. Hopefully this year goes better.
