Gourd looks like what we called a bottle neck gourd... like the pics that @rachels.haven posted. It would be the swans neck one. If you pick it when it is frost time... let it dry out. completely..... the seeds inside will rattle...once the inside "flesh" dries up.
No, not edible... decoration or you can cut into the bottom part to make a hole for birds to go in to nest in it too.. need to cut the hole when it is green, when you first pick it, so when it dries out, it will not shatter when you try to cut the round hole. Not as easy to use as a the actual birds nest one... doesn't sit up and can't hang from the thinner neck... My mom used to grow them along one fenceline when I was a kid just for the fun of it.
