Vacation

I went on vacation for 8 days to Tahoe. I figured, as you can see in my last post, that if everything died while I was gone, I'd at least have 3 to 6 fruit to work with. But our house-sitter, J, really took care of the gourden and I returned to see brand new gourds that were bigger than my prize gourds in places where there was no fruit growing before we left! I now have 10+ large gourds to work with and the plants are still healthy and growing.

This picture doesn't do justice because so many gourds are hidden. And I don't know if you can tell, but you basically have to bend over at the waist 90 degrees to walk under the gourden.
