First off, a formal thank you and hats off to The Fern & Mossery for taking the time to give incredibly thoughtful and inspiring advice for our terrarium troubles. If you're having terrarium troubles, finding conflicting advice either online or in books on how-to terrarium, do check these tips and how-tos:
Proper Moss Placement
Ferns in Terrariums
Proper Temps in Terrariums
Ideally over Labor Day weekend we can take this all in and get the Ranch resettled with new green moss and ferns before autumn arrives.
In the meantime, despite being a little nutty lately, we did celebrate a terrific
terrarium themed birthday .....................................

| Fern fronds (fake) and presents were attached to twine in a glass cylinder (future terrarium). Spoiler alert: the dirt is really a new brown t-shirt! |
 |
| Some of the strings weren't attached to presents, just ferns and try-again messages like: Present-FAIL. Brilliant! |
 |
| What fun! (how BIG is that cat?!) |
