Remember the golf ball mushroom on the mountain?
Well, here’s what it looked like on my most recent hike:
Guess it didn’t want to get whacked with a nine-iron!
I’ve been super-busy lately — working on my novel-in-progress, and gardening and harvesting. Soon we’ll have corn, and more and more of our tomatoes are ripening.
The garden is one of the best things we have ever done. We’re eating healthy, delicious food for supper every day and saving a bundle on grocery bills. Instead of running to the store, we go to the garden and dig up a hill of potatoes, pull up cabbage, pick squash and zucchini for stir fry, or pick a pile of green beans.
Gardening is a lot of work, but it’s fun, relaxing, and rewarding — there’s nothing quite like growing your own food. Unless it’s writing your own books or composing your own music.
Let’s hear it for DIY: Do It Yourself!

Yay! you win the Do It Yourself Award! Your garden sounds so great, altho I realize it’s quite a bit of work.
Hey, youkeep getting mr veggie hungry- where are those beet greens…
I miss my old house that had good garden soil, where I had strawberries, tomatoes, corn, n beans…. sigh- Here there’s seashells about 6 inches down.
That is incredibubble metamorphising of the fungal variety. And your garden is a cornucopia.
Your garden sounds–and looks–wonderful. We’ve had radishes so far from ours.
I got quite a kick out of the fungi photos.
Instead of hitting that golf-mushroom with a nine-iron you can now place all your vegetables on its tabletop. LOL~ You’re garden looks great. Keep up the hard work. Have a great day.
Love the garden! Your book came! I’m gonna read it right now!
As mentioned before, I’m oozing envy over your garden – it’s so beautiful! And lol on the mushroom. I had a slightly different thought than golf when I first saw it. *g*
hehe, SnaggleTooth — thanks for the DIY Award. The garden you had sounds great, too. I love strawberries!
Paul — I love your way with words. And “incredibubble” — I’m going to be walking around all day sounding that word out happily in my mind.
Thanks, Leah! I hope you’re enjoying your yummy radishes. And the fungi continue to amaze me. There are so many!
Hi, Michelle! Thanks for visiting and commenting. Ha, great idea about putting all my veggies on the mushroom tabletop! I hope you have a great day, too.
Amie — yippee! Glad Mirror Blue came, and I hope you enjoy it. If you do, tell your friends!
And Gwennie — LMAO @ your mushroom comment. From now on, when I see them in that configuration, it won’t be golf I’m thinking of, either.
what a fascinating shapeshifting fungus….
As usual, great pics, Thomma Lyn.
That mushroom is weird. i’d love to grow my own food but alas, my thums is so far from green it might as well be made from pesticide. i’ve managed to kill every plant I’d ever tried to care for. Even cactus! How the heck do you kill a cactus? I dunno, but I found a way…
Kudos on the garden. It’s lovely.
Hi, Crafty Green Poet! Aren’t fungi endlessly fascinating?
Thanks, David! And LOL that you killed a cactus. Our thumbs are all pretty green here, but we’ve also been quite lucky. Several people we know have had very bad luck with their gardens, people who’ve gardened for years — theirs got hit by blight. Blight, stay far, far away!
I’m all for DIY! Yummy.
The fungi is either a putting green for elves or a helo pad for fairies.
Hugsabunches, KS . . . D
Hi, KS! hehe, I love it — a helo pad for fairies.
(((((((((big hugs)))))))))))
Wow! I didn’t even know mushrooms morphed like that! Your garden is beautiful and the whole thing looks very peaceful– esp. in comparison to my own yard, where I can touch my neighbor’s house, hear them sneezing, etc.
Home-grown cabbage, green beans, zucchini stir fry…Yum. When’s dinner???
Thanks, Denise!
And our tomatoes are coming on like crazy, too — we’re up to our knees in tomatoes! I’ve made tomato / garden casserole for two nights running. We love those homegrown tomatoes!
