Weather utterly foul today. Cold and unbelievably, it actually snowed! Of course it did not gather on the ground but for a while it was blowing around quite hard out there.
Absolutely nothing done in the garden ... simply too miserable to work.
I gave Frank an electric digital smoker as a gift and today he used it for the first time to smoke some trout. We had it for dinner on a large salad and it was utterly delicious! Well done Frank!
I went out and collected a small handful of asparagus but it was not enough for a meal. Hopefully more tomorrow. The raspberries and blackberries are trying to send up new canes in the beds again. Will need to get out there this week and remove them all .... again. Also, the Tufted Vetch is making a determined attempt to establish itself as well. My goal is to stay on top of these beds all this year to see if I can seriously reduce the weed pressure in them.
We found what we believe to be a single Morel mushroom in one of the Gooseberry boxes. It is quite small but it certainly looks like a Morel. Will need to investigate to see if there are any poisonous mushrooms that look like them. It is very small to eat but I suppose I could put it into something.
