Gourgy Fun/Mishaps

Yesterday me and a couple of the roomies (JBaby and Katebug) went to the UGA Community Garden to play in the dirt/acquire a boatload of zesty peppers...and it was an eco-chic, earth-love-you-long-time experience, per usual.

Although we were the only ones at the plot (the Sandy frost kept the regular GardenGnomes awaay), we still found a task to help the gardening initiative!

Apparently, gourds are a trendy veggie treat (not to eat) this fall season! After they dry out, people make them into bird houses, instruments, etc. We steedbabies thought it was so coolio that we even caught the gourd FEVAH ourselves--but first we had to earn our gourds.

To do so, we started by bathing the green beauts in some bleach water. Gourds on Gourds on Gourds-Stacked. Then we attempted to hang em. NOT AN EASY TASK PPL. These heavy ass gourds don't fuck around. Gotta treat em gentle to get em all on the same rope. 
After we hung them and we stood back, admiring our gourd artistry, the head gardener rained on our parade and made us move our line :(. Needless to say some gourds got tangled (Gourd orgy= Gourgy!) and some toes got stepped on.

BUT! We shall try again on Sunday when we have more time and sunlight. And this time, no gourd shall be left behind.

AND GOD SAID, LET THERE BE HOMEMADE BLOOMING ONION KITS AT KROGER.
