Hi Kim. I just harvested about fifteen pounds of pears and I'm not sure what to do with 'em yet except eat them one by one. Argh! I'm new to canning and preserving; in fact, I've never done it before. Any suggestions? --Vilma

Thanks so much for the Rouge Vif d'Etampes Pumpkins! They've gone crazy in my backyard and right now I have 27 pumpkins in varying size of growth... Plus more flowers coming! We're looking forward to lots of pumpkin pies and breads in the fall. :)

check with me in a month for some kefir grains, they dont reproduce for me very quickly.  I just got a kombucha scoby too.  Any experience with either?  I want to get some Ginger Beer Plant, which is also a live culture, do you have any or know someone?

I don't think the mushroom mulch is still sprouting, but I'm up in Oregon now, and it's in Berkeley!?....I do expect it to sprout again next fall though.
