Happy Birthday Ali! Best Wishes for a wonderful day. I hope you get lots of other lovely presents too (some plants, for instance?). Looking forward to seeing / reading how you get on with growing the mushrooms.

Happy happy happy birthday!! Make sure you pick those shrooms before the explode! Came home to brown dusty kitchen sink cupboards one day...spores everywhere!!

Happy Birthday Ali!

Happy Birthday Ali! (I got a box of worms for my birthday, in my opinion boxes of strange growing things make the best presents!)

Byddi - We didn't come here for the grass... said...

Happy happy birthday! Great idea to buy yourself presents - that way you get exactly what you want - looking forward to photos of those mushrooms!

Just when I thought I was being wasteful with the Easter break, i discovered your blog and spent the afternoon reading it from start to finish - well, latest to earliest. I don't know how I hadn't found it earlier - I found it today via veggiegobbler's blog and I love it. Even better, it's great to follow the gardening ravings on another SE Qlder. I totally get your banana thing - I was like that too, after growing about 5 varieties from tissue culture (bought from the DPI) at our last place. We had many many bunches - they were definitely my babies! I'm also rubbish at growing egg plants and had what I thought was a stow away cucumber growing next to the front steps but only this morning found a melon on the vine. Looking forward to reading more in the future - and I love your photos.

Happy birthday,Ali!
The kit is so interesting that I also wonder how and where I can get it!

Phoebe said...

Happy Birthday Ali! We share the same birthday!!!! Yay to us!

Ali said...

Phoebe, how fabulous! What wonderful people we are :D

Takaeko, did you see the web address on the mushroom kit? You might be able to order them over to Japan??

500m2 said...

Ooh! Which one did you get? I have a Swiss Brown one on order at my local nursery - I can't wait for it to arrive!

I really look forward to seeing your updates.

Ali said...

Thanks 500m2 :)

I got the swiss brown one too, I am hoping to crack it open tomorrow! Have you grown them before?

Linda said...

Belated happy birthday! Now that's a proper birthday present.

500m2 said...

Hi Ali,

Yes, I grew some as a child, and it was such a buzz! I much prefer Swiss brown to the white button mushrooms, so I can't wait for the spoils. I just prepped my kit with my 3 year old - blog post out shortly. It'll be good to compare results.

Oh I'm so glad you are going to do a blog post on them, I'm really not confident that mine will work. I am trying to be cool and humid for them - I'm not sure of success!
