Found these brittlestem mushrooms growing in the raised bed, among the Thai basil and Thai peppers. Thank goodness for Picture This, which is helping me ID more than just plants around here: https://www.picturethisai.com/s/8unuISAs?platform=MORE&hide_bottom=false

I owe so much to the gardeners who created this oasis and helped me get started. (The app I tried before they suggested this one was identifying some very questionable things as broccoli!) The amount I have left to learn when it comes to gardening and life makes what knowledge or wisdom I’ve started to acquire look like the tiniest of seeds.

in what way does that qualify me to start writing a garden guide? Well, I’ve learned from work that once I become immersed and enmeshed in the daily tasks in all their detail, it’s difficult to step back to see the big picture. Sometimes the clearest documentation comes from the new trainee, because it’s simpler and broader in scope, highlighting key jumping off points, without diving into a list of caveats.

I intend this to be a repository for successes, mistakes and lessons learned. The Instagram has a bit of the pretty stuff, but here are the stories.
