I'm having a lazy day today, thinking about the upcoming spring, the impending snow storm tonight and all the things I should be doing like finishing up the taxes: I find myself sitting here on the computer wasting time, dozing off and enjoying every minute of it.
So yesterday I was in the kitchen and remembered the Plug Spawn in the fridge. I got out the directions and started figuring out what one needs to do to produce a plethora of mushrooms!
It seems complicated, a little, well no, not complicated but time consuming just like any other farm project but it will be fun! there's a lot of paying attention to detail like watering for several days, then not, then waiting, then drilling holes into wood, then waiting, then watering, then waiting, then putting the logs in buckets of sand to stand upright, then waiting. And each mushroom is a little different of course, so each requires a different set of rules. Oh well, I am looking forward to the harvest! I guess that's like anything in gardening; you know it's a lot of difficult, time consuming, back breaking labor - but the rewards of the harvest are definitely worth it!
Then as I was going through the directions, I started thinking to myself that most people would not get it, not understand or misconstrue this in some weird way, but in my life - this question and answer is perfectly normal:
"Honey, why is there plug spawn in the fridge?"
"I'm gonna inoculate it in wood this spring."
Perfectly normal, really.
