When growing a garden most people think of tomatoes and beans. It is nice to have some items that most people don’t grow as trade items. One of the things I chose is Shiitake Mushrooms.

I am not an expert grower but fortunately you can get kits on the internet and Amazon. The kit I used is here . It comes with 100 plugs and you simply put holes in tree stumps and let them grow. Here is some of the hundred holes I drilled.

After hammering in the plugs, cover them with wax and wait. That is where I am at just waiting, and watching. If you are in the city and wonder where you can get a tree stump drive around to construction sites where they are clearing the land and I’m sure you will have no problem getting a tree chunk!

I will update this project as it progresses, I just hammered in the plugs two days ago.
