Exactly a year to the day since I noticed our first crop of saffron poking their little heads out of the raised beds down the hill, the first flowers are again starting to appear.
At the same time, white topped mushrooms have appeared in the lawn.
There has been lots of rain and a drop in temperature ... triggering this new seasonal growth.
We harvested heaps of mushrooms, cooked them in the oven and froze them to use in the future.
Ones we harvest in coming days we'll use immediately.
Meanwhile, the olives are starting to colour ... changing from green to deep purple.
The last of the big tomatoes are preparing to ripen.
I love to see how the potager (vegetable garden) changes with the seasons.
Did you have the mushrooms checked to make sure they are edible ?
ReplyDeleteyea, same ones we picked and ate last year. They're the common garden mushroom, white on top, light brown gills and no collar .... we've eaten heaps already. Still alive and kicking. Spotted one under the mulberry tree with white gills and a collar ... gave it a wide berth.
