Goodness those gourds are giving you a run for sure. How are they looking now? We had some more pop up this year unexpectedly from last year, and they just started to bloom. You're going to have a bunch of birdhouses out there!

Best I can tell the vines have reached 50’ when I was home last did see quite a few nice gourds hanging, will get a count once home this weekend.

Will be fun to make some birdhouses this winter out of them..

Y'all dehydrate watermelon? Tell me more. We have volunteer watermelons in last year's pig pen where we tossed rinds over the fence to the hogs. Naturally they will all ripen at one time. What temps do you set the dehydrator on and for how long?

Dw dryed the melon on low ( orange if you have a Excalibur dryer) and started to test dryness after 24 hours she said it was 26 hours...

She had a couple pieces according to her it is super sweet and tastes like a watermelon Jolly Rancher...

Wow that is a lot of tomatoes. Found some wild black berries growing by stream almost ate some, got a flash back of Kristine vomiting and stopped
In our area there are several people selling "colon cleans " ... why pay money when you can do it for free by eating just a few berries ... :lol: :lol: :hu
