    Looking good. What are you going to make out of them?

    I raised them one year. I left mine on the ground. I made several rain sticks. I noticed the walls of the snake gourds are thinner than the other gourds I've raised.

    I planted a few gourds this year, too. A few apple, banana, Tennessee spinning, and birdhouse gourds. Mine are vining all over my garden.
