We have just added a new gourd for our creative artists and crafters, the warty gourd. This is a very hard shelled gourd, runs aprox. 5" to 6" in diameter and about the same in height. Most have stems. Some have more warts than others. I found it very easy to cut a hole with a jigsaw to create a toad house. These also make really cute wren houses. (recommend a 1" entrance hole) These gourds are washed and ready to craft.
