  1. I've had a couple of stressful days & am working on more gardening therapy today. I'll update more, later on.

    I spent the morning taking apart my mini chainsaw to clean & replace saw blade. Unsuccessful with getting new blade on properly - it's too loose. I'll get back to it later & figure it out.
    I used our dolly to move this straw bale for a combo backyard mushrooms growing experiment. Trying out no sterilization of straw & grow both oyster & wine caps out of same bale.
    I'm skipping the cover the bale with a tarp because it's placed in a spot where it's shady & gets little sunlight. Light is similar to dappled forest & is minimal in the spot that I chose to do this multiple mushrooms growing experiment.

    All my other mushrooms growing stations used sterilized straw. I'm interested in seeing how this unsterilized straw bale does. I watered it for about 20 minutes to ensure the entire bale is moist enough to start putting fungi cultures/mycelium into. I'll keep updating on how this experiment goes.

  5. I got more pruning done. Did some deadheading of hydrangeas too. Threw the tomato clippings & hydrangea heads atop my straw mulch so it can break down & add more biomass to areas I'm working on to grow more plants, next year.
    I'm piling up tree pruning cuttings into a pile at far end of backyard & adding some wild turkey tail cultures to the pile to help them decompose better & build up more biomass too.

  7. The first public sneak peek at our brand new #SevenOaksSeedLibrary on Whiteside at Kamloops Ave! It's just the seed packets that I've filled in there right now, with some info papers.

    I'm looking forward to continuing to stock it up, with fellow volunteers!

    If you're in #Saanich / #VictoriaBC area - please spread the word 😃
