Any gourd experts out there? Now that I've successfully grown a nice bunch of these big hard-shelled gourds, I've realized that I don't really know if I need to bring them in before we get freezing temps, or if it's better to leave them outside. I know the Cucurbita gourds can't be left out to freeze, but this is my first time with Lagenaria types and I've found conflicting info from searching the 'net. If anyone has actual experience with this -- particularly if you've grown them in the north and left them out in the winter to cure and it either did or didn't work out -- I'd love to know!

Maybe @Ravencroft ?
