Mushroom growing experiment: 12/5/07 to 1 /7/07

 In addition to developing the garden, I also tried my hand at growing mushrooms. I got the spores from Homebase. I planted them on the 12 May 2007. After 14 days the soil was interwoven with very thin threads called mycellae. I always wondered how mushroom got to be the juicy things that are eaten. from the pictures I can see that they emerge as small tubes, these tubes I think become wider and turn into the dome of the mushroom. We shall see.

Never giving up: Eagle

The eagle

Bald eagle 

I never saw an eagle give up

I never saw an eagle give up hope

I never saw an eagle lay down and die

I never saw an eagle lose faith

Instead the eagle soars and soars over storms

high above the earth
