Botany and Mycology :)

Plants and mushrooms are my passionate hobbies, and i love to grow things that I can eat, and which allow my scientific side to research these experimental growth assays.

I also like to paint, and badly play a few instruments, but the cultivation is my top obsession :)

 

Anyone want to know more or share similar interests? :)

  • I have tried the last three years to grow food but I don't have a great deal of success. I think the problem is I forget about it and so don't keep enough of an eye on things. Last year I couldn't get the seedlings out because of such strong winds and the rain was so bad last year. Previously I have had success with cabbages. I planted nastersiums aroud the bed and that kept them free of catterpillars, but the slugs got them last year. The other thing I previously had success with was blueberries as they don't really need much attention - just netting when the birds show an interest (and a dose of eracasious feed).
