If you have some free time and are interested, I could use some help in the garden:

• We have mulch! the bale of straw. If someone could spread it out around plants it would helpwith moisture retention and weed control.
• The compost needs turning. This is awkward at the moment ’cause it’s full of branches
• We have money. MHF approved. I need someone to look into ordering things.

Additionally, I could really use a person or two to watch over things and make sure the plants are getting watered, harvested, etc (and to save enough of each plant for seed next year) over the summer, as I’ll be gone from late June until next year.

Please do not eat the mushrooms that are growing in the garden. They just appeared and I don’t think they’re edible.

From the garden’s perspective they’re actually beneficial; they break down things plants can’t use into things they can. At any rate, once a mycellium has established itself there isn’t much I could do to remove it short of fungicide.

The mushrooms so far have started growing after dark and all shriveled up and died a few hours after sunrise.

Or DDT. Lots and lots of DDT. Actually I don’t know if that would work but it might.
