Shiitake Mushroom

Today sweetgum grove farm began a new path along our journey in sustainable urban farming. I took the NC A & T Shiitake Mushroom workshop @ the A&T Farm. The above photos captured some of the process of preparing, inoculating, and waxing the oak logs for the hopeful flush of Shiitake’s in October.

Wow! Where Did February GO?

Here we are March 4th 2010 and it has been awhile since I blogged. The month of February has flown by and all I can say is Snow, Snow GO AWAY! I am so ready for Spring to get her and in a mere 16 days it will arrive. Yet as anyone who was raised in NC knows we sometimes have snow into April and even as late as May so Mother Nature can and will play tricks on us. That said I wish all a wonderful snow less weekend for I must plant, plant and plant some more.
