Dinner tonight was pasta with red sauce, and a simple salad. We grew
the lettuce, some mushrooms and oregano that went into the sauce, and radishes that Betsy included in her salad. The city parks guy had a
bunch of wood chips dumped to spread around the fruit trees at the park.
I innoculated the wood chips last year with wine cap spawn, and I know
it took because I found a few there a couple of weeks ago. When I
spread the new stuff, I'll rake up the existing bed to facilitate innoculation of the new chips.

the omelet I made with son wine caps.
I gave a blackberry plant (either APF-8 or APF-12) to a family down the street, and they returned the planter with a nice card. It wasn't really a favor because I distribute those plants to anyone who will
plant them. Maybe eventually I will sell them, because they are off
patent, but probably I'll just keep giving them away.
It seems that maybe I sprayed the Pixie Crunch apple trees early enough
to stop the cedar rust. So far, so good. The peach and apple trees at
the park are full of tiny fruits. Last year, both of the peach trees
took the year off--not a single peach. I've planted a bunch of the APF8-or-12 at the park, and those plants will be free to browse this
year by everyone, just as are the apples and peaches.
