Real Dipper Gourds

 The heat and rain the last couple of weeks have helped the gourd plants grow leaps and bounds. The top vines are about 12 feet off the ground and cannot be reached without the step stool.
 One twisted gourd has a long handle forming.
 Here is a smaller gourd that promises to grow and become a prized water dipper.
This is the gourd from the last post. It was moved higher to see if it will stretch down and lengthen.

Would you be willing to donate to our garden fund in exchange for a cured gourd? The gourds may be offered this winter to those who tour the house and grounds.
