You need to resize your photos.  Look at the thread on how to for what size needs to be.

Let the boo dry well in a protected area. The green color will turn tan color with direct sunlight and that should be done after drying. A day or so in the sunlight will turn it tan. The color doesn't necessarily indicate whether the boo is dry or not.

I'm glad to help, Broke. Next time you harvest try to get straighter pieces. Makes it easier to work with.  d;^)
