My neighbor has gourds and two or hanging over our fence. I am sure he would
like me to have them. When should I pick them and how do you dry them?

Reecently I saw a large gourd that looked just like Rush Limbaugh.
Harvest the gourds before the first frost, hang them to dry where they
will get lots of air movement, and hope they don't rot. You can
remove any mold (after they are dried) with a weak bleach solution.
