Hi Please can you tell me whether the Ornamental Gourds (which I have grown from seeds) namely SPERLING’S Lohengrin, are edible?If they are, am I correct in assuming that they are cooked as for courgettes/marrows?Kind Regards Kathy Jukes

Decorative gourds have hard shells when allowed to ripen fully. When immature, these cane be cooked, but some kinds are more favoursome that others.

If they are not now gone too hard, it  might be worth trying a couple.
