Potager Garden: Baby mushrooms finally visible …

Week 2 – Little fronds of fungi form close to the edges of the kit.

Week 3 – The tiny caps of baby mushrooms are visible…

Meanwhile, early this morning, we ventured through a beautiful enclosed woodland labyrinth made of rhododendron branches, boardwalks and wood carvings.  We took a video as we ventured through, which we’ll get online tomorrow.  Here’s a sneak peak of what’s to come…
