Re: Gardens, Food and Food supply issues.
Youre doing some cool stuff, Allen! I'm sorry to hear about your mushroom experience, I've always been very cautious with them, especially out in the wild. I know some people who pick the "purple ringers" from cow poop, but it's not my thing. I LOVE Sapote, I have grown serval Mamay Sapote from seeds, they are doing good but do not expect fruit for at least another 3 years or so. I have also acquired more mango trees so far in my collection I have M-4 (coconut flavored), Coconut Cream, Venus, Kathy, Ice Cream, Ugly Betty, Cotton Candy, Carrie (some say the worlds best tasting), Sugar Loaf, Honey Kiss, Lemon Zest. I have found gowning fruits and veggies to be addicting if you taste one then you want it. I have add more avocadoes to the property too, we have a total of about 5 0r 6 different types and about a total of 10 avocado trees, I can't wait to try my Oro Negro when it produces.
We have harvested about 10 lbs of Pigeon peas so far and more sweet potatoes. Our mulberries are starting to produce again and I made a nice mulberry wine that was a hit with the neighbors, I gave out some free samples and told them if they were interested I will sell them more...they want more. I have found that mulberry wine I do not have to add sugar or yeast in order for it to ferment, last year I just put them in a jar with some water in the closet for serval months and I had a nice 10% abv mulberry wine.
I exchanged some tomato starts for some of my elderberry starts so I will be starting tomato and cucumbers real soon.
