The heavy rain in recent days has started the Shiitake Mushrooms Logs once again.
Shiitake Mushrooms are one of the most popular of specialty mushrooms. They are high in B Vitamins and also provide Vitamin D.
They support cardiovascular health, improve energy levels and brain function, reduce inflammation and support the immune system.
Use Shiitake Mushrooms in stir-fry or stuff and bake. Add stems to broth for flavor and added nutrition.

The Hilltop Garden is almost full, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, corn…and remember the strawberry fiasco? We have managed to gather a couple of quarts of berries, and given up about as many to the creature…the monstrous bunny we caught on the trail cam…I call him Grommett.
The ants are wiping out the white potatoes. We are armed with Spinosad…see who wins.
Happy Homesteading,
