Kate, yeah those viney things that grow on the hillsides. FYI all gourds are viney. These look like bright yellow tennis balls right now. They were green striped in the spring. Actually I thought it was squash and was going to cook them (motto: if you don't die or puke, it's probably OK to eat [Roll Eyes] ) but someone else told me they were gourds. They have hard thin shells (skins.)
