Volume discount pricing applies to 5 lb. bags of any sawdust spawn variety (mix or match):
Why buy 8 @ $20($160) when you can spend another $21.50 and get three more? Mix and match, Almond Agaricus & Shiitake & Wine Cap. Next year.
Getting a good soaking rain today. 1.5" so far. Supposed to quit soon and when it does, I'm going out to the garden to pick a salad for lunch. Three types of lettuce, a few mustard leaves, wasabi arugula, bok choy, tatsoi, chijisimai(tatsoi/komatsuna cross), couple of shisito and a single sunsugar cherry tomato.
I think Tatsoi/Chijisimai is my new favorite veggie. Loaded with vitamins, good in a salad and I bet they'd make good cooked greens too. Boil a slice of bacon, add some spices and then cook the tatsoi in that water? Yum.
I have no salad dressing so I'm finally going to finish that project of turning home canned pepper/onion relish into pepper/onion dressing by adding some water and yellow mustard to thin it down. It has no oil so water should mix in with it.
Strung up all the mater plants yesterday. One was already leaning over and the rain/wind last night and this morning would have had them all laying on the ground. I should have topped all the shisito since they were 12" plus tall in their 3" pots when I got them but didn't so they're going to need some support soon. I'll probably do the Florida weave on them.
Finally started the tray of more salad greens. They'll probably all end up as baby greens since the temps are going to be technically too high for most of them soon. Hopefully shade cloth and a light daily afternoon watering as soon as they're shaded will allow getting them to edible size. The market gardeners manage to grow leaf lettuce all Summer with mistings throughout the day. I may try that too.
