Speaking of Gourds



On Sunday 10-19, I visited the home of the Albrecht-Sprinsocks.  I have been fortunate enough to meet this lovely family through the dahlia society.  Not only do they grow dahlias, but they grow giant pumpkins, and quite well I might add.  This year Riley grew a large variety of gourds!  Riley won many awards at our County Fair.  He sold the surplus on Sunday and the $885.00 went to "Obama for America"...I left with a beautiful collection of pumpkins and gourds for my front entry way.  I will save the seeds from some, and next year add gourds to my growing agenda!
