Bloody hell - tornado already? I thought they were more of a late spring into fall kind of thing. One of those things us folks up north are pretty unaware of.

We still have some snow and ice in the yard, but it's disappearing quickly at long last. Having said that, we'll likely get another dump or two before all is said and done. We haven't even planned the garden yet!

I had a great learning day today and planted 7 small logs of Shiitake mushrooms today.

Lets see how this works!

White Oak Logs??

Although I could be wrong I think that it was Red. Picked a tree that was over the road and would have tipped over sooner or later any way. The minimum maintenance road is still technically closed so a good time to drop it on the road.....

Acrobatics for an old fart.

Got that cast iron seasoning mixture melted into a flat piece also today to shortly send it on your way!

The ice cube trays are a good way to mold it but they wouldn't economically mail worth a darn.

Update:

So I buttoned up the ends on the Low Tunnel and planted Green Onions I used some sections of 1.25" pipe that I cut a slit through to "clamp" it on
We get to do a little experimenting now since we have an extra 30-45 days to play with
The Garlic is still looking good, fingers crossed






Grow Garlic Grow

A take on Scotty's remark about when they beamed Humpback Wales aboard to take to the future to save Earth:

"There be Strawberries here"!



OK, so they are small and Green but they are still Strawberries!

They are forecasting snow here tonight/tomorrow.

In my life span compared to the world I think that the seasons are more shifting than changing.

Spring dates are getting later and also the fall. Therefore it is not the seasons that are changin but the timing.

I am not claiming this is true but thinking that our life are such a blip in the whole scheme of things to judge what is normal from what we have experienced is sort of silly.

I am of the same thinking--'we' have only been here a very short time in relationship to 'Life on Earth' and I find it interesting when Science says 'This happened and this happened' when in 'Fact' they 'Think' that's what happened.

Man wasn't the cause of the Ice Ages but 'Science' never seems to 'know' what caused them.

As George Carlin said: "People want to save the planet. The planet is fine, it's the people that are f**ked" he also said that 'we' are just a surface nuisance.
