Your Typical Horse made of Gourds

November 8, 2007 in animals, nature, plant material

From Speigel Online. This is something you don’t see everyday. I’d say it goes beyond the typical gathering of large pumpkins.

animal gourd(s)

I’m sure this brings some business his way.

I grow gourds but I do not think I will grow this many next year. If I did it would have to be something more outrageous than a horse.

My Elevator Speech

My hope is to use this site to spread some info about the art and practice of Landscape Design. It is a very misunderstood profession; I do not cut grass like the next door neighbor's cousin who carries 3 mowers and a blower in the back of his truck. I will also pass along comments on industry happenings, events, etc., and any maybe a few other adventures going on in my world-after all this is "my" blog. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
