Livin off the Land...

Spring is finally here... well sort of... It is supposed to be the time when gardens are getting tilled and stuff getting ready to be planted... AND... this is WILD MUSHROOM season in Ohio.. butt beclaws of all the COLD and the RAIN... we aren't getting very many Morels. THESE are the bestest TREAT of the spring. Yesterday my dad went to the woods to see what he could find... He had to wait fur One storm to go away... and while he was out... which was only about and hour... another STORM started heading in. SOOOOOO he wasn't able to stay in the woods as long as he would have liked.
I put some on a white paper towel so you can see what they look like.

This is them laying on my counter... so that you can see how DIFFICULT it is to see them.. when they are in the woods. They blend right in with the dead leaves and stuffs. My mom will cut them Lengthwise and soak them in cold water. Then dry them a bit and put them in flour and then FRY them. My mom was talking to Jazzi's Mom on the phone while she was frying them yesterday!!! She got 4 skillets full. We had THOSE DELICIOUS thingys.. along with.. my mom's Cabbage Patch... which is what she makes Instead of Cabbage Rolls. hehehe

YUMMMMMMMMM. That is all I can say about a dinner of Cabbage (from last year's garden) Patch and MUSHROOM SANDWICHES. HEAVENLY.

This is a set of pictures of my poor pitiful SOAKING wet... FLOODED garden. Look at the rain water running off.. and taking my good rich soil with it! BAH. THIS is not right.


It is sooooooo WRONG that April 2011 has become the NEW... all time record... WETTEST April on RECORD. It is just Totally Soggy. The poor farmers can't get into their fields. It is just BAD I tell you.

These are the furst of our green onions... I guess if I could ever get in without sinking up to my TAIL.. they will pull up easily. I don't eat these.. butt my mom and dad do.

We can't even get in to pull WEEDS and I think our Sugar Snap Peas are gonna Drown.

Mom did get a couple of spears of Asparagus... butt she will now have to Hose off her garden boots.

Rain Rain.... GO AWAY.
