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➡️

What happens when a pumpkin and zucchini cross pollinate? A 12lb pumpzhini is what. This marvelous fruit is the result of a volunteer that came up this year which produced just the one giant zumpkin. I knew there was something special about the plant when it vined out, considering the zucchinis I grew last year were determinate plants. Oh did I mention I also grew a pumpkin last year? It's amazing how much the flesh smells like pumpkin as well as how the seeds resemble the inside of a pumpkin. More interestingly will be how it taste and what plant will the seeds become since this year the plant competed with a buttercup squash??

Pear scraps vinegar update**

If you're ever cutting fruit scraps off for a pie, jam, canning or in my case removing the core to dehydrate the rest... don't compost the scraps! Well at least consider the alternative. Here I'm going to ferment these pear cores into vinegar 🥴🍐
