Hoping my "leave the button mushrooms in the sun (and under cover) to build up Vitamin D" project was successful. Many mushrooms, including button mushrooms, build up nutritionally significant levels of Vitamin D in response to UVB exposure. #Tacoma #mushrooms #Nutrition #food #selfsufficiency #washington

ProTip: If you need a lot of top soil to start your #garden skip the bags and have a pile of soil delivered instead.

On average it works out to a dollar or less per cubic foot vs $6 or more for "quality top soil."

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

Solitude is the climax of the negative virtues. When we go to bed after a solitary day we can tell ourselves that we have not been unkind nor dishonest nor untruthful; and the negative virtues are agreeable to that dangerous faculty we call the conscience. That they should ever be admitted for a part of virtue is what I cannot explain. I do not care two straws for all the nots.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1880-01/02?), “Reflections and Remarks on Human Life,” § 4.6 “Solitude and Society”
