Be they your baby artichokes just off the market or freshly picked mushrooms. <br /><br />Anyway, back to oysters. Here is a question to occupy your inner philosopher: Where does the expression "The world is your oyster" come from, considering that it's the devil's own job to break into one at danger of cutting yourself? <br /><br />UUrsulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722046288685936851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-77085989373156829012018-06-01T11:27:23.740+01:002018-06-01T11:27:23.740+01:00I love mushrooms but have never picked and eaten a...I love mushrooms but have never picked and eaten a fresh one in my life.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-26300678922227320322018-06-01T10:54:40.982+01:002018-06-01T10:54:40.982+01:00I've often thought about growing my own, but h...I've often thought about growing my own, but here there's really not much point.

I learned how to grow different varieties from manky packs of supermarket shrooms, as well. It's getting a bit cold here now so further flushes may stall. But I'm hopeful of more, soon. My issue is finding the room indoors to grow them. Close to the loungeroom heater is a good spot. It's all very exciting!Ninaschenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163770016423292034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-69976267564046196872018-06-01T07:07:09.500+01:002018-06-01T07:07:09.500+01:00I think that 'Chiodini' are the ones that ...I think that 'Chiodini' are the ones that kill fruit trees.
