THIS & THAT.
Some random photos from the past week.
My absolute favorite flower we grow....Tithonia or Mexican sunflower.

A tiny chanterelle found while gathering spring water. 
Sweet potatoes are looking good! We can't wait.

Overrun with hot peppers these days.
CHANTERELLE SEASON.
I don't know about you, but we have had an unreal mushroom year. Our morel season was prolific, and our chanterelle season is, for some odd reason, still going—four good flushes and counting.
The season has been cool and wet, at least as far as summers go. We've had several, SEVERAL inches of rain over the last few weeks and with every rain has come a new flush of chanterelle mushrooms, the bright orange fruit of the forest. And it hasn't just been the edible mushrooms which have been so exciting, but all the mushrooms. The wetness decidedly brings out the fungi, and the fungi definitely brings out the diversity. The leaf mold is littered with these "wild flowers of decomposition," so hunting has been both extremely fruitful and oddly colorful.- Jesse.
