Bucket-O-Mushrooms
On the weekend, Ivy and I went to the Riccarton Markets. They are the biggest weekend markets in town with plants, crafts, food, second hand gear, self importers and even rides for the kids. We had a good look around bought some cherries, peaches, free range eggs, a chocolate mint plant, a rosemary plant, and a bucket of mushrooms. Not a bucket full of mushrooms, but a bucket full of dirt and little mushrooms growing. Cool, I know. It cost us $10 which is about the same price as 1kg of mushrooms from the supermarket. Apparently this bucket will grow around 3kg of mushrooms over the the next 4 to 6 weeks.
Since we got the mushrooms 3 days ago the mushrooms have doubled in size. These things are growing like wild fire!
