Does anyone out there know how I process large gourds after harvest?  I
waited until after my first hard frost when the vines had died and cut them
with some stem.  Now what?

My garden is getting a good few inches of horse manure courtesy of my
norwegian fjord pair and I'm also expropriating some sand from the round pen
where it was too deep for good footing.  My clay soil is getting better each
year.

Any and all gourd advice welcome.  Teressa K. in NW Washington where it has
