My dad dropped off a bunch of pumpkins, gourds, and corn stalks a bit ago. I'm going to process the obviously frost damaged ones during the week, but hopefully the rest will keep and I can do them over the winter. There are a few pie pumpkins!

Gourds. I love gourds so I'll harvest seeds from them to plant along the treeline next year. Gourds!!!

As for the corn stalks, what should I do to get those ready for the chickens? Take the cobs off? Chop it? Or just haul one stalk in there every so often and let the ladies go to town? Dad says he wants a few for the deer and all he'll do is put them in the woods. Do I have to crack the kernels?

My two spotty dotty chickens for tax
Keep the guts and seeds for your chooks 😊

I would throw the whole stalk of corn in and see what they do 😊
