Advice for my first Terranium?
Answers:    Don't dry the gourds. I just picked the ending of mine and have them soaking contained by a tub of water. They will have need of about a week, possibly more, for the skin to become soft. Once the outside is all slimy and soft, crust it, rinse well and shake out as lots seeds as you can. Then receive a tub of fresh water next to some Clorox in it and soak for another sunshine or two. This will sanitize them and make them look nice. Rinse all right once again and let them nouns dry.

The only problem next to picking immature loofah's is they will be a bit thin and softer than the store bought sponges. I live within Michigan so I have reasonably a few immature gourds. They work allright but verbs up quite a bit surrounded by the shower.

As for the pumpkins - I believe all of them can be eat but not all should. They are winter squash and only just like the squash, different variety taste different. You might want to return with the canned pumpkin, it is allways righteous and worth the few cents it costs.
