  • Gourd????

    What is it? What does it taste like? Is it easy to grow?

    As far as I know, gourd's are inedible varieties of squashes but can look very pretty.

    Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

    Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

      Yup, that's right.

      Some people grow them and dry them and stick 'em in bowls and things... strange but interesting.

            They can be used as water carriers and used to be used as powder kegs for rhe gunpowder to load a musket methinks.

            Not much call for muskets these days though!

                oh no. We went to El Jem in Tunisia -an ancient roman amphitheatre and we wandered amongst the stones shouting "otters noses, lark's tongues" and giggling quite a lot.
