Holiday Gourd on a Chair in the South End

In the spirit of Halloween, here is a picture of a gourd resting on a black metal chair on harrison Avenue in Boston.

Did you know that Loofa sponges (made famous recently by Bill O'Reilly) are made from a type of gourd?

Read all about it here, and perhaps make some Loofa soap for the holidays.

Special thanks to the American Gourd Society.
