Coffee dreams anyone……comments too?
In the window shines a reflected moon
Happy blues waft through the air
Coffee scents linger in the room
Clinging softly to our hair
At my table blue eyes reflect mine
Sipping quietly on her frozen dream
Chatting of life’s woes, school time funs
Fresh on the border of turning thirteen
Time spent just sitting, sipping, sharing
Even if she feels her leash pulled taunt
Coffee and crumb stories told for the caring
Skip a few chores, don t let them haunt
Happy blues reflecting into my own
Coffee smells melt into our dreams
Wonder who she’ll be when she is grown
Her own strong, beautiful person, it seems
Thank you Thung Thied,
for your set of eyes!

Overall, excellent. Especially liked the blue yes reflect, coffee and crumbs and her own strong…lines. Your second line in the first stanza threw me? Well written.

How Do You Grow Psychedelic Mushrooms?
GardenersCardiff answers:
Check out the shroomery for specific information. In my experiance i’ve found that the B+ cubensis strain is the most potent. And my favorite growing method is to use enocculated jars filled with fresh ground brown rice flour.
* to make your own fresh brown rice flour buy a cheap coffee grinder for like $20 at wal-mart and a bag of brown rice.

i’m afraid of growing up?
im currently a sophomore in highschool
im terrified of growing up.
i love being in high school, i wanna stay in high school for as long as i can. its so much fun and it has got to be the bestest thing that has ever happened in my life. when i go to my friend’s house and chill, we go around on beach cruiser bikes and stuff, i pass by these old people and they’re just sitting there reading a newspaper and drinking a cup of coffee by themselves. it looks really boring. it makes me sad cause i’m already 15 years into my life and another 15 years and i’m already 30 years old. i’m just too scared of growing up and i never want to leave high school. next thing you know i’ll be like 40 years old with 20 year old kids and i’m about to retire…
im just tooo scared to grow up
GardenersCardiff answers:
You’re projecting your own feelings onto others. Lots of us “olders” are quite content to be in the quieter time of our life and out of the youthful years you are now experiencing.
Belive me we were once young and fast and full of life and piss and vinegar and we did all manner of hanging out and being with friends and being just like you. We’ve done all that and we don’t miss it at all. What you don’t know is that life gets better, richer, you have more money, more security, and we can live our lives any way we want to so don’t feel sorry for the aging. It’s really quite cool.
High school is nothing like real life and the kick you’ll get out of being your own person, governing your own life, having your own apt., your own friends and parties and job and car and girlfrieds. The older you get, the more prepared you become as you walk through it, for the next stage. The only reason you’re apprehensive is because you are looking at the whole of life with 15 year old eyes and with only 15 years of experience.
Life is actually just beginning for you, there’s nothing to be afraid of.

David asks…
mushroom growing pftek?
hello all,
am interested in growing my own mushrooms to cook with using the pftek method & brown rice flour. only one question about the process so far. after inoculating my jars do i tape the syringe holes back up or leave them open before putting in a moderately dark environment to colonize?
GardenersCardiff answers:
You are supposed to put a “filtered” tape or cover over the hole to allow air exchange. I covered the holes with tape in a few. I also put a disk shaped cotton swap with tape around the edges on the top of the jar to block any incoming microbes to enter. I would prefer grain substrate if you are looking to have a decent harvest and get the moneys worth of your spores

Donna asks…
Why are hop shoots so expensive, can’t people just grow more of them?
It seems like the price market for foods is somewhat manipulated, after all anyone with a garden could grow hundreds of pounds of hop shoots, and yet they are charging a thousand euros per pound of it. Is it only the wild ones that are appreciated? And what about ‘gourmet’ mushrooms? Can people just get a log, some spores and grow their own? I realize some people – like me – live in apartment complexes and don’t have gardens, but I don’t get why some of these prices are so high. Aren’t they artificially inflated?
GardenersCardiff answers:
As 99% are left to flower and are used in beer production the few one from lower stems are used, I have cooked them in both the UK and France when I was a chef, yes like truffles they are a limited and rare commodity.
