The dirt and bacteria that is left on these little gourds will eventually cause them to decay!
If you take the time to clean and disinfect them with a little bleach the problem is solved!
Just fill the sink with water. Add the pumpkins/gourds and bleach. Scrub well!
These gourds will last all through October and November! They will be a nice addition to a traditional Cornucopia come Thanksgiving!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
What can you do to deter the squirrels from munching on them . I tried using gourds but they ate them in 2 days. Would it help to put peppermint oil or clove oil. That might smell nice inside too?
