Tried my hand at a vegetable garden in the past, and had miserable luck with it. To be fair, it was in some pretty crummy Maine soil that was full of rocks. Might have more success now though. Just curious what everyone is growing.
What I really want is a yard of just wildflowers. Better for the environment, less effort to maintain, and much more in keeping with my personality. I hate the fully manicured look. Only downside to that is ticks…so many ticks in New England…walking through it would likely be a horror show.
Do mushrooms count too? I currently have multiple blocks of Lion’s Mane and King Oyster going. I also make chickpea tempeh. Since I only have an indoor space, I can’t grow large-yield food plants, but I like to grow spices and teas. At the moment I have mint, turmeric, and very young chamomile plants.
Oh really! I’m so fascinated with mushrooms. I started a log with oyster mushrooms but it hasn’t produced anything yet (after a year)
I grow in bags indoors so I don’t have experience growing mushrooms in logs yet, but it is something I want to try
Is it like those kits you get? Those are great
Yes - they are like some of the kits! I buy a culture once and then use the culture to make the blocks myself.
Here is a picture of one of my Lion’s Mane:
