growing mushrooms

Thanks to you both.

I don't hold out much hope with my method but the mushroom compost or transporting a piece of turf seem like good ideas. I will get back to you in a year....or two!

growing mushrooms

Hello. I just wondered if it was possible to encourage and grow wild mushrooms in the lawn or in a rough grass area I have.

I have picked a lot in the fields just recently, and have actually had too many to cope with. Some that were going past their best I have put under the turf in different areas around the garden and wondered if there was anything above a zero chance this might result in mushrooms growing another day

Beef tomatoes

I grew Brandywine in the greenhouse for the 1st time this year. Although they were very late, I had some corkers. Some were as big as my hand and tasted wonderful. I still have some in a drawer with a banana, only recently picked, and they are slowly ripening.

Begonias and Pelargoniums (geraniums)

Early in the spring I bought several trays of plugs of begonias (normal and trailing) and geraniums.

After filling all my baskets and troughs I had quite a lot left over which have spent the summer in small (3") pots where they havent grown very much mainly due to lack of attention. They have suffered from either too much water or too little, most are about 3" tall now and look OK.

Will I  be able to overwinter these in the greenhouse, should I pot them on and will these types of begonias develop tubers that I can use year on year.

thanks
