I was doing some research about saving seeds from bushel gourds and I found out that certain types of squash dry better when they are allowed to ferment some. They also continue to mature and it also helps to destroy molds and diseases. In a way it helps to sterilize the seed.
I did not ferment the 187 seeds and because of that, it was difficult to get all the moist flesh off of them. I did however ferment the 175 est and 165 est. These two were not weighed or measured and it was a toss up for which of my three biggest I should bring to the Durham Fair. The two gourds that I did not bring were assigned a weight so that we would know what we were planting. Anyone who would like some of these seeds is more than welcome to them. I am running low on the 187 but I have plenty 175 and 165 left. The 165 and 175 seeds look all around better to me than the 187. Just e-mail me and send me a bubble and I will get them out to you.
