It actually turned out to be quite nice today. Sure, it was windy, which makes it difficult when I am trying to rake leaves, but still, no snow except in the really shady spots like the front porch, no rain, pretty warm, and sunny. Not bad after two days of snow. We got outside pretty

I think we can call the mushroom season over, so I want to sum things up for future years. On the wild mushroom front we’ve done well: we’ve learned to recognize several very good species. Puffballs, chanterelles and sweet teeth in all show promise. Unfortunately I don’t like the texture of the little puffballs as

A pretty day, but the Marlow Harvest festival and a desperately needed shopping trip kept us out of the garden until very late. The shopping trip did provide us with a decent bulb planter. Damn this fancy Japan/Taiwan engineered bent metal. It’s a cup on a stick, 1/8 inch Penna. steel, welded in Bangor, Maine.

The first freeze of the season is promised for tonight, and Lisa is away, so much running around. I put blankets on the tomatoes, peppers and basil. Unfortunately the tomatoes looked like they’d already taken frost damage. I potted up the two coleus that had made it through the spring’s cold weather. They are gorgeous, and Lisa wants to try to make cuttings for next year. The Hawaiian stick, the amaryllis and the peace lily came in. I don’t think the peace lily will make it through the winter, but the other two seem to have adapted to out somewhat irregular pattern of care. Finally I harvested the one remaining basil plant out in the main window boxes, and grabbed a meals worth of honey mushrooms. (There are many more, but it was getting dark, and we hadn’t actually tried them yet.) The basil replaced the black trumpets in the dryer.

Our friend Paul came over today, and the three of us took a walk out in our woods. We had high hopes that all of the rain we’ve had this year would make for many good edible mushroom, and indeed, that was the case. Our big finds: Black Trumpet Mushrooms: We found tons of these.
