A day of the gourd bath..... One tub of dirty gourds.... need a scrubbing. But first they need to soak to loosen up that grime!
I wish I would had taken a picture of that dirty water that happened between the soaking and cleaned gourds! Icky!!!! So here they are all clean taking a quick bleach water bath before being dryed! When cleaning gourds work in small batchs. These took over two hours to scrub!
