    I thought they were like pumpkins and other squash.
    Now I recall, many years ago, when the children were small I grew some miniature gourds in our back garden, they were brightly coloured and all knobby. Definitely not edible. LOL

  • Elaine Teague replied

    They are of the pumpkin family David,just not edible. I grow them and decoupage them as well.
