I have not seen AussieSaphire for a while, does anyone have news of her? Aussie if you read this please let us know you are safe.
Gourds are not something I know anything about, are they edible if not what do you do with them?
Have a goodnight knowing that you are wrapped in the love of God..
Barbaranne, aussie had a nice vacation, returned home 10/15 and was fine. I know she's had some modem/computer problems lately. I hope she's safe, too.
If a gourd (which includes all pumpkins and squash) isn't edible, it could become a bird house, a water bottle, a bowl or ladle - or simply be an ornamental object, perhaps in an arrangement on a table.

Thank you, one more question how do you know if it is edible or not?

That's a good question! Perhaps from trial and error? Prior experience? I honestly can't answer that - any of you puzzlers out there know?

Barbarane, I googled gourds - squash & pumpkins (and there are MANY varieties! ) are considered edible, but all others are simply gourds and are usually used for decoration. Not much of an answer for you, but it's all I've found so far.
Nlb, all pumpkins and squashes are part of the gourd family.

I knew they were all in the gourd family. I just didn't think everything in this picture could be called pumpkins. But after all, what's in a name? "A rose by any other name..."
Great assortment. I've never seen one like the one in the middle of the right edge. Fall is such a wonderful month to decorate the home. Nature provides all sorts of terrific things.

God bless you all with variety of life.
