Is it a plant...or a toy?

Now that our radishes are grown and picked, and our peanuts are grown, Zee and I need a new plant to focus on. And just in time, we found a kit for birdhouse gourds! I'm so intrigued by gourds. I have this dream of a field full of pumpkins and gourds growing all around me. Maybe it's my love of autumn. Isn't this the best season?! I love the crispness in the air, the changing leaves (something I never had growing up in Arizona), just the whole atmosphere. So when I saw the gourd kit, it was necessary, in a time when J and I are deeming everything unnecessary. I'll definitely post pictures as soon as our gourds are growing. These will definitely be the most fun of all our plants so far.
