I share your opinion of the rain, however, I’ll just knock on wood, cause I don’t want the drought to start early. LOL

I am thinking about growing some mushrooms at my house. Next to my basement (canning) kitchen door. I put in a small garden plot size about 4x4 ft. It was intended as an herb and lettuce garden. Hubby had stated that he was going to cut the tree that shades the area the most.

Well, he didn’t, and so far, nothing has grown there. I did have a golden alexander which lasted for 2 years before giving it up. Any way, I am still trying to come up with a way to use the area. Mushrooms is all I can think of.

I tried getting some mushrooms started a couple years ago. Didn’t do any good. Shiitake - goose eggs. Shaggy mane - goose eggs. Oyster - one. The heat and drought was just too much for them. I may try it again one of these years.

Didn’t find any morels over the weekend.
