Check out my post for wild grape jelly! Have a grape day! 😀

There are a few patches of wild grapes that grow near my home in Minnesota on gravel roadsides and a park called eagle’s nest. Fitting for where the birds go to feast.

It has been a fruitful few days of foraging mushrooms. Here are a few I found. Lobster under an oak tree which is parasitic mushroom of a russela mushroom. Smells like lobster. Chanterelle mushroom under a dead pine tree smells like apricots, super yummy!! Hedgehog mushrooms found in maple based woods tooth comb under cap, nutty and delicious one of my favorites! Also found wine cap, I didn't try it since it was a new mushroom to me to find. Get out there, find an adventure and learn about the land. And consider planting more forest lands if you are a land owner. The critters and the earth will thank you.

Thinking through all the stiff muscles, lost fish and snapped lines and hours upon hours of throwing out a line for a phantom fish, well it was worth it.
Alaskan salmon fishing on the Kenai River. Near Cooper’s landing. Best salmon river experience ever.

In the thick of it catching salmon in Alaska on the Kenia river. It is raining out. Break time for food and beverages. Cheers 🎣

It has been beautiful watching all the variety of Lilies bloom over the last few weeks. I will be moving some of these into the protected garden so the deer don’t eat the heads off.

🌈 Royal purple radishes are doing great! Mild heat when younger now getting a little hot 🥵. Getting ready to go to the lake and jump in!
I’ll let these go to seed for sure! Making sure to let only the nicest roundest ones seed to ensure quality for the next year crop.

My new experiment of turning cardboard into compost! Thanks to my paper shredder, my Amazon boxes and lots of seed catalogs, I have now reduced and repurposed my paper recycling.

This will be my potato bed made mostly of mulch and leaves from cleaning up the garden beds and around the house.

I am hoping to increase my potato crop this year by growing it in a large old feeder. It should warm up and break down the leaves and mulch while feeding the potato plants. 🥔

Getting in the swing of spring with tiny peppers. I just used the seeds from the one's from the store that the kids like. I am using coconut husks for the seed starting mix. It works great! Get it at Menards.
