New batch of books are in fresh off the press! Over 750 copies sold to date, which may not sound like much but considering the average self published book sells only 300 in its lifetime I'm fairly pleased. ☺️ If you've recently inquired on availability I'll share the link in my bio where you can get your own copy. Thank you to everyone who had purchased a previous copy!
I was able to collect about 2 cups of seed from one large lambs quarter plant. I've had all the clipped stems drying out for the past few weeks. They'll need some threshing/winnowing to get them cleaned for cooking (an apparatus I may build) but I think they could also make some great microgreens or sprouts. Its amazing just how much seed one plant can have. Imagine if a small crop were allowed to go to seed just for the "grain"?
When you get round 2 and there's even more than last time! 🤩
I'm super excited about this oyster find! 🤩 A totally flushed out stump was spotted across the creek. So naturally I grabbed the kayak and basket to check it out and how I was not let down! Most of these are in prime condition, and not a single worm. Saddest part is I will be out of town so I can't enjoy them all fresh. The rest are going into the dehydrator so they'll be preserved for ramen or seasoning.
When you spot a large cluster of edible mushrooms and have to weigh out the pros and cons of getting them. As for me, it was all pros 🙂
We found this magnificent cluster of pearl oysters in a semi-precarious spot above the creek in our evening walk. There were others of equal size higher up the tree, but definitely out of reach. It's such a blessing to have such quality food spring up in your own backyard. The main mushroom is huge! Measuring 9.5" across 🍄⬅️9️⃣➡️
