Best Answer

When the stem starts to pull away from the gourd they are ripe. Do the twist the stem but cut it as close to the vine as possible with a sharp knife or scissors. When drying do not set on the ground as air needs to be able to move around it to allow it to dry and not rot.

Does a cross pollination of a gourd and a squash create an edible squash?

Most gourds that I am familiar with are from a different genus - Lagenaria. In that case they will not cross with each other. Some decorative gourds are in the genus Cucurbita and will cross. The result may then not be very edible if the gourd dominates. You will get a mixture. If they are edible, it would be when the fruit are very small.
