Holiday Harvests

Bear Here...  

Wisconsin Spring... Oooo Spring... It is currently April of 2022. It is snowing kinda hard and there is already over an inch of snow on the ground. Time to cheer myself up.

I am organising our site and noticed some blogs I started but haven't finished yet. This one was from July of 2017, when it was warm. No sense in wasting old ideas, sooo...
Bear here...

How do we enjoy a long weekend at Our Tiny Homestead?  We harvest stuff out of our yard and make good food. Here is some of what we did this weekend. 

​For fruits we have red currants, wild raspberries/black caps  and wild strawberries:

On to fungus, we harvested over 2 pounds of shitake mushrooms:

... And finally, plants. For us, salad fixings, wild salsify, mint and basil:

Catnip for the cats. Frost kinda enjoyed it, Doolin kinda slept through it.

We ate the strawberries as they were, Theresa is making the red currants and the black caps into jelly.

I'm back in April 2022 now... Ah the good ol days!  I do miss those mushroom logs, they lasted about 8 years. I'm feeling better, hope you liked it too...

Type at ya later
