But now I've comandeered dh's.
Here's a garden project of sorts. Check out others at The Garden Party at Keen Inspirations!
We had to cut down our Birch Clump. See the nice 4 foot logs?
Well I've always wanted to try growing mushrooms, so I ordered some oyster mushroom plugs and drilled and hammered. The three logs took 300 plugs!
Then I put them on a pallet underneath the hemlock bush on the north side of the house. Water twice a week more or less. And wait (and wait)....
I've got my fingers crossed.
Since its going to be such a long wait, here's something to look at: a picture of a Luna Moth that was on the telephone pole outside our house one morning. I saw it from a distance and thought someone had put a little cut out umbrella on the pole. Maybe one of the little girls who live on our street. But no. I was amazed to see. It stayed all day then flew away at night.
Looks a bit like a mushroom, no?
Have fun,
Kathy
Sorry to hear about your camera. I'd be lost without mine.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the mushrooms.
Good Luck, I'll be waiting with you. The moth looks like a ballerina with her legs crossed. Lezlee
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the mushroom growing. Hope you show the progress. Thanks for sharing the moth picture. I have never seen a moth like that before, it looks just like a folded leaf!
