Today’s walk was the definition of a day late and a dollar short. Well at least I found where the morels will be next year.
Today’s walk

Today’s walk was the definition of a day late and a dollar short. Well at least I found where the morels will be next year.
This is kind of cool. I was making a special hexagon garden box. It will be a pole bean teepee garden for the kids. Anyway, I came up with this modular box arrangement almost by accident. It’s really cool. It allows me to build the boxes in my shop, move them up to the garden! And just slide them together. I came up with a bunch of others designs using the same concept spirals snakes etc. I think it will be fun building method to play around with.
PS I will post an update when the teepee is finished and grown in.

Garden Day
In spite of the drizzle yesterday and today are garden days. We cleaned out the beds, added and filled two more beds, mulched and planted. This year my son was old enough to really help out with the heavy lifting, so It went really fast. The news paper cups worked out great and we are about 80% planted. It was a good weekend. I still have to add a fence around the garden a bench and four special beds that are going to fill in all extra space, but the hard parts done…. Well mostly.
Spring Bloom Came Late
Finally!! I walked back into the woods and found a bunch oysters (Pleurotus populinus) Really pungent anise smell. One of my favorite 😛 found some others too but cooking up the oysters now.
BTW I always salt brine these to kick the bugs out.

Hey! In the Mother Day’s post with the dandelion wine you wrote that the recipe for it can be found in an earlier post but I really don’t find it (it’s not tagged with #dandelion wine or so…) could you perhaps give me the link or the recipe? Thanks! :)
Sure, I changed it any way. This recipe assumes you know how to make basic wild wines as far as procedures and equipment etc.
For a gallon (just double or triple if you want more. No need to add more Yeast or another Campden tablet)
7 cups petals no greens
1/2pt white grape concentrate
2 lbs sugar (or one of sugar one of honey)
3 tsp acid blend
¼ tsp tannin
½ tsp energizer
1 Campden tablet crushed
1 packet champagne yeast
Wash pedants in cold water drain. Add all ingredients except the yeast to a gal of hot water. Mix and let stand 24 hours. Add yeast and in 7 days rack removing the petals. Let go another 2 months (4 months if you use honey) bottle up.
