    Diane - I also have 4 gourd plants growing at the moment...fingers crossed we get enough sun.

    Randy - so far its been o.k. Ive also got an open back tack head that i made a bout a year ago and that suffers a bit, i often have to get at it with a hair dryer, but i will make different height bridges if need be... Ive heard of people putting those silica gel packs you often find in new shoes inside the gourd to absorb excess moisture.
