Hot! I thought it was October? So why was I working in 90 degree heat today? What is up Southern Maryland?!? Isn't the frost date in like 2 weeks? That was my rant. On to the good stuff. Here is the latest progression collage...

And if I had taken the picture today instead of yesterday the Tomatoes would be gone.

Cultivation and Maintenance
I continued soaking the Shiitake mushroom logs this week. It takes a few days after they soak and then the mushrooms start to pop out.

| Baby Shiitakes! |

| This log is doing great! |
The other big maintenance project this week was pulling out the tomato plants, trellising, T-Posts and irrigation. It took a solid 5 hours on Saturday to go from 200 plants to newly tilled ground with the help of Andrew and David. It was also in the upper 80s and sunny.
