Mushrooms on Lincoln's cricket field

A bonus a couple of weeks ago when the heavy rains brought out a number of fairy rings on Lincoln's cricket field...


I plucked a bag, gave some to mum and dad (who've moved in to a small house on our backyard), and had four good meals myself.

First kamo kamo, and other harvestings...

Last week I saw the first kamokamo appearing under the layer of leaves...


Production is in full swing now, cucumbers (a little bitter) and tomatoes, as well as ongoing rhubarb (which I freeze, raw and chopped up), silverbeet, bok choi, spring onions, lettuce and cauliflower. .










The cauli's all came on right at the same time, so I pickled a fair bit...


The boys have been working well lately (saving for the latest XBox!). Bruno's discovered a taste for axe work...
