They're a little particular, it seems!Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-67934716597736184692011-03-31T22:24:04.790-04:002011-03-31T22:24:04.790-04:00I'm glad the blackberries made it.

Drives Jay crazy, I pick them up whenever we travel by car and I see a good one for the garden. Love and hugs.

I'm talking about the birdhouse gourds which are the only ones I usually plant. Dry them in a dry, airy place--warm attic or someplace like that.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-68358058367391862692011-03-31T11:49:02.687-04:002011-03-31T11:49:02.687-04:00I think winter's only waving from the next hil...I think winter's only waving from the next hill. She's smiling her ancient smile and reminiscing a bit which will give us folks a chill and a snowflake or two. But she's moving on. If you listen, you will hear her walking stick hitting the ice in streams as she crosses. Behind her, the streams let go and come down to nourish the lowland gardens.<br /><br />ah...gardens<br /><br />Speaking of which -- I want to grow gourds, but I never get them to dry properly. Any tips? I want to make rattles.Granny Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17796564953236247413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-13584001503301994122011-03-31T11:21:01.045-04:002011-03-31T11:21:01.045-04:00Ooohh, snake gourds!

Can't wait to try & grow them. According to the seed packet, they are fang-tastic. :)Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13470785810110869810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-35660789427131842002011-03-31T10:39:25.862-04:002011-03-31T10:39:25.862-04:00I do plant them, Kate!

Here and there--a quartz one from my Mom's, a granite one we found at the beach, a white stone with seashell fossils that we found in the mountains of WV (go figure). I also use them for stepping stones and for garden walls. Larry doesn't much like them because he says they attract snakes, and he's kinda right--I did turn on up once to pull the weeds around it, and there was a copperhead underneath. Big surprise to me and the snake.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-27690838872001004042011-03-31T10:03:57.090-04:002011-03-31T10:03:57.090-04:00Um, Granny Sue, it _sounds_ like you plant rocks i...Um, Granny Sue, it _sounds_ like you plant rocks in your garden ;-) Maybe you use them for stepping stones???<br /><br />Curiously yours,<br />KateKate Duddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05993525350472863231noreply@blogger.com
