New project for greenhouse

[hppygr8ful, ASN, RN, EMT-I]

Well since the sun has come out in force I am adding shade cloth to cover the greenhouse. My orchids prefer indirect light and their leaves are burning. Plus I am going to mount some of my new babies on a rustic branch I found while out walking. I got some pretty odd looks carrying it home but so what. Also been foraging for wild lettuce which has anagesic properties when dried and used as a tea. Once I get the right shade in the greenhouse I will start my mushroom project.

I am still outdoors.  I have a few construction projects going on in the back yard that I need to get completed before I can move to building my green house.  On the other hand, I purchased a small outdoor green-house like box that is holding my seedlings, but I cannot wait to have more room to grow and plant my mini farm. 

Also, I think it is great you are finding wild plants to cultivate.  I don't understand the strange looks.  I think it beats you going into your neighbor's yards and taking clippings without asking (some neighbors may do this from time to time).  Besides, who has not picked a few wild flowers and plants on their way to school growing up? ?

I personally, don't know herbs well enough to chime in on your mushroom project, but I am interested in reading further.  So please post and let us know how it is going.  I grow herbs for seasoning and spices.  I am thinking of growing tea leaves eventually.

I do forage some out of people's yards but most of the plants I am after are considered weeds by most - still it is important always know the ownership of land you are foraging from and always asking permission!
