Are you going to varnish them and give them as Christmas pressies? Great pics by the way Back to top kittoch Joined: 02 Jul 2005 Posts: 162 Location: glasgow Posted: Sat Oct 21, 2006 10:25 pm    Post subject: pics i grew them really for a laugh, but was amazed at how well they grew, and the amount and variety of gourds i got............they were like jack and the beanstalk the rate they grew!!!! .....................am drying them off a bit, then will see what i need to do to preserve them, read that you should wax them rather than varnish, but never done them before, so if anyone has, please let me know what to do!!!
