Just curious but are they for decoration or can you eat them? Kind of look like a butternut squash

Purple Martin gourds
Anybody need any good gourds? I haven't planted any since swapping to large plastic gourds around 10 years ago, but looks like I didn't forget how to grow them. This is about 1/2 of the large gourds that I grew. I'd guess I have 300 gourds 9"-12" in diameter. Probably 500 more that are smaller. $3 each for the larger ones, $2 each for the smaller ones. Sorry but NO shipping. It's too hard to find big boxes and costs you too much.

No these are hard shell gourds. The reason I planted them is to use for birdhouses. Purple Martin gourd houses to be exact. Lots of ladies paint them to use as decorations. They're definitely not for eating.

That’s a nice mess of gourds!
You definitely have it figured out.

They could be used for lots of things. I use to see the long handled dipper gourds around old wells for holding drinking water. I've also used some for storage bins. Heck they'd probably make a pretty good insulated minnow bucket.
