Random Stream of Consciousness

Not sure about the rest of ya, but holy hell are we getting some wicked weather.

Torrential downpours and calling for damaging hail.

Everytime it starts up again, I'm looking at the plants in the yard like....

Ones that can grow in the sun instead of shade.

Top Sun-Tolerant & Heat-Loving Mushrooms:
  • Wine Cap / King Stropharia (Stropharia rugosoannulata): Also known as the "Garden Giant". It is one of the easiest mushrooms to grow outdoors and is highly tolerant of partial to full sun, provided its woodchip or straw bed is kept adequately moist. It thrives as a companion plant in vegetable gardens (e.g., around tomatoes or corn).
  • Almond Agaricus (Agaricus subrufescens): A hearty, high-protein mushroom that loves warm conditions and thrives in greenhouses or high tunnels where it receives ample light and warmth.
  • Pink Oyster (Pleurotus djamor): A tropical, fast-growing mushroom that handles high summer heat and can produce flushes within a week.
  • Dryad’s Saddle (Cerioporus squamosus): Often found foraging on dead or living hardwood during the spring, this species can handle warmer, brighter exposures than delicate shade-dwellers.
Oysters are some of the easiest mushrooms to grow. I've never tried them outside. I tried to grow the kings outside a while back but had no success. I'm not sure on growing in direct sun though. They might shrivel up quick.
 
I struggle with broccoli, it either flowers or gets worms. Growing collards and they get the same attention from cabbage moths. But we eat the greens young and it's easier to get worms off leaves than flowers like broccoli.
I think soaking in salt water will get bugs off of broccoli... last year was my best year.. I got 4 long florets.. good for a single serving.. yay
 
Lovey received this today! Let the Daiquiris flow! First test this evening will be soft serve for Rose and I probably followed by Strawberry Daiquiris for Lovey.

This weather was made for strawberry daiquiris! I'm jelly! Although the last thing I need is another kitchen appliance lol report back please on how it performs. I love my Ninja Foodi and my coffeemaker.
 
Quick test complete. 2 cans of 12 oz Pepsi and 15 minutes later Pepsi slushie. I had to throw some away as it was too much frozen Pepsi for me but 16 oz is the minimum mix. Just mixed up some milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla. Should be perfect by the time dinner is complete (90 min). Quick clean up and turn it over to Lovey for adult options.
