Your comment is so interesting, would you consider writing a short article about them and being a guest author?

In the fall, rather than pick them leave them hang on the fence all winter and let nature clean them. If you watch you will see the layers peal off….they will also dry this way. A good dye for gourds is leather dye. You can get it in many nice rich colors.
