It is that time of year. The great Christmas tree roundup. For their trunks, of course. We are looking for about 30-36 this year.

We had a few good days so we were at the MidGarden. We laid down cardboard, from the the kitchen in the box, and covered with hay bales.

We hope all the weeds will be gone by spring – a bit of tilling – and a row of Christmas tree trunks tripods with green beans.

While moving the hale bales we discovered a bit of amazing fungus. They were a bit frost bitten but quite amazingly growing gray fungus. I thought about tasting it but decided against.



Last fall several CRC volunteers and staff planted herbs in a round pre-existing garden at MIdGarden. If you look carefully you can see the garlic coming up in a peace sign design. It will be good – looking and tasting.

I keep watch this one tree that was planted at the garden. I have yet to figure what it is. Late summer and fall it sprouted hard round seed-looking globes. I gave up trying to identify the tree. But this week I revisited the tree. The globe was mushy and a nice orange.

I had to taste. It was good and sweet and it did not kill me. But I still have no idea what it is.

Look at this.

It came into the CRC and no one seemed to be taking it, so….
It is a horseradish root, I think. I am planning to plan to do something with this. I am not sure as yet but I will let you know. Maybe a little vinegar.

Back to MidGarden.


It is so good.
Later.
