Gathering and harvesting (but no hunting)


Fall is harvest time. This year rain was sorrily lacking and my plants looked rather skinny, despite my rinse water collections. But I still could harvest a good number of tomatoes, beans, carrots and potatoes.

And what pleasant surprise: we had never paid much attention to a bushy tree in the corner of our garden. This year it grew plenty of plums and we picked 8 kg of them.

But not only our garden provided us with food, we also found plenty of mushrooms, blue- and blackberries (although I had to discover that the sweetest of the blackberries were also most likely to host unwanted inhabitants).

Forest goodness - King boletes and some other mushrooms

Garden Adventures, Nov 7

Just had to post this picture of what we found in our own garden:
'Slippery Jack' relatives (Suillus caerulescens). With onion, salt and pepper - delicious.
