Mushrooms are coming

This is the mushroom kit in the laundry. We have this box for almost 3 weeks now. Hope to get giant mushrooms by this weekend
so we can have bacon & eggs with mushshie... :-)





This is the last bunch of roses from the garden (well, actually they are in pots). I will have to prune them this weekend to get the best result in October. I will show you once I finish the pruning process :-)

Herbs Herbs Herbs

Today we went to Gawler area to do some work so we dropped by to see mum and have lunch at her place. She gave me a big pot of coriander, little pot of rosemary and a medium pot of lemon grass. How lucky I am. She told me to put them out for the sunlight. Hopefully all my herbs will survive, no caterpillars, no magpies to eat my herbs. I have basil plant for few months then all leaves are gone. We suspect the magpie.
Few months later my coriander got the same problem and I found a big fat caterpillar on the scene. I threw it away, didn't kill it but so mad about the culprit. I will harvest some coriander soon as they are so big and I don't want to feed any magpie or caterpillar anymore.

Not only herbs we have now, we also working on our mushroom farms, hehehe, mushie mushie mushie. We love mushrooms and we seek for mushroom kits for few weeks. We ended up got them from the Garden Grove. We got one field mushroom and one swiss brown which supposed to be bigger and more flavor compare to the field mushie. We will be able to harvest some with in two weeks. So next two weeks, watch out, any meals will have mushroom as main ingredient!!!
We have bought a little oven for roasting meat such as birds, beef, pork and lamb. We had roast duck as a first trial. It turned out very well, honey enjoyed it so much, mum is now officially joined the Luv a Duck club!!!
Tonight we roast red pork (หมูแดง), the skin wasn't that good so we didn't eat skin. May be we shouldn't use ribs, fillet should be good in this roasting machine. Didn't take any pictures of food that we cooked, next time I won't forget to.

We have bought a coffee table the other day, so here it is with honey working on his lappie. There is no cup of coffee on the table in the picture but only some messy papers and equipment for making this blog :-)

We also bought 4 bar stools so whenever we have friends here we can serve them Illusions as many as they want over the bench!!! :-D Here are the stools.
