Jeeze, Happy day at Jungs! Thats a ton of product! Where was that? Madison?? Has to be in a larger city, not in some cross roads town of 600 surrounded by cow pasture!
Days in the sun surrounded by plants! Not a bad life! (And then winter!)
Cashiers! Look at you, bet you knew not to eat until every one else had!
I have an enormous collection of 4x4 purple herb and other pots from when I was still working and bought all my plants. Wash them out, reuse them. (But not yet this year)
Geo Burns! That is nice!
Nice warm rose! (The dead one....did the voles eat the roots?)
When I started tomatoes or any vegetable inside I would put a small fan on low blowing on them, would move it around and turn it off and on, and increase the speed randomly. Seemed to make them much hardier when I put them outside.
There’s a few companion planting guides/charts here; https://permasteader.route66custom.com/cloud/index.php/s/gzdDRYe4Qganzas

My shiitake spawn came in a few days ago. Went out and cut some small oak trees, cut into 3 foot pieces and stacked them on a pallet back in the woods. They need a week or two to settle out while not drying out. It rained off and on for a couple of days after that so they should be good to go shortly. Got more rain coming Wed/Wed night so a couple of days after that will be inoculation time.
As soon as the logs are fully colonized with mycelium, I can force fruiting by soaking one in cold water for 24 hours and it will start putting out mushrooms in a day or two. Then I’ll do one log every 3-4 weeks. By the time I get to the last one, the first one should be ready again. I got a wide temperature strain but next year, I may get cold, warm and wide range strains to be able to harvest year round.
Lion’s Mane will grow on oak logs too but they’re slow growing. Takes two years before you can harvest.
BTTT!!!
Bttt.

Thx!
No vole problems. These are in the raised beds that Beau built for me around the greenhouse to even out the big SLOPE that was there so I can mow that area more easily.
There were two spots where roses didn’t make it and I think in both of those spots there was less dirt and more gravel below them. So, I’m just moving some things around and I put a birdbath where the old yellow rose was and last fall I planted a red Day Lily, which SHOULD be pretty indestructible instead of the where the other rose (Hope for Humanity) was.
It was 2020. Not strange that ‘Hope for Humanity’ didn’t make it, LOL!
Good Deal! Exactly what you need to do to encourage strong stalks and to keep them from getting fungus and mold!
They should be able to handle the wind when you start to gradually introduce them to sunlight before you plant them outside.
I did Shitake one year, but the only shady spot I had was where the runoff from the yard went. Mud splashed on the logs and competing mushrooms colonized the logs. (Turkey Tail.)
At the same time I tried oyster mushrooms; They did not work either, but the next year I had some in oyster mushrooms growing out of ground in the area of some Pine trees the city removed.
I hope it works for you!
Low Tunnel made with 3" fencing and lite insect barrier. It allows 1) earlier planting and 2) insect control later in the year.
I use 2'X6' raised bed frames, which are easy to make and move around. I took sections of 3' fencing, put insect barrier on them to make 3 foot removable row covers. I can lift them up and work inside without having to pull off (in this instance) a 14'x3' section of row covers.
The assembled 4 section 12' low tunnel.
I took a chance before last weeks rains and planted radishes, Japanese turnips, beets, and on the north side, peas. Hoping that we get enough warmth for them to germinate and grow! (And that the peas do not rot in the ground!)
Very interesting, thanks. Sounds so good!
Greenhouse is sprout city. Most of the seeds I planted two weeks are up and looking happy.
Planted the Yukon Gold spuds after work on Friday.
The majority of my weekend has been spent installing a new trolling motor on Judy. My old fat ass doesn't fit very well through small spaces and under the deck. I feel like I lost a bar fight, but I'm gaining. The pain will be a fair trade for the money it would have cost to get it done at the Pro Bass Shop.
I might have already given this list to my fellow coffee lovers.
If I did, forgive the repeat. Anyway a nice reminder.
