If you looked at my site I have the cutest basket of gourds, what I want to know is will they keep for next year or do they go all wonky?? Hi Tasha.

Nancy Jo,

Found a website and this is what they say about keeping your gourds practically forever!

"If you drilled a small hole in the blossom end to allow for air to enter and dry them from the inside, they should last an average human life span."

Go here and check it out! -

Hope this helps!!
