as for Mushrooms, easy to grow, fresh but time consuming (slow growing, not the work), but not as cheap as the store but you can get some like Lions Mane, some like the morel and wine cap can be grown in your yard too.

Lion's mane are good but slow (also supposed to have health benefits), Oysters (other than Kings) are fast but you have to harvest them early of the spoors are nuts so I don't recommend them unless you can grow them in the garage or outside the living area. Once you try it a couple times then try Oysters... real easy to grow but not in the living area of the house (basement in an area you can close, garage...) . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45b2t7fqhjA

I highly, highly doubt that.
Where are liberals located? In cities or rural areas.?

Who broadly speaking are against guns?

Do liberal elites not commonly refer to Cons as uneducated rednecks?

think about conservation groups. There are those who do, and those that think giving back means $20/year...

In other words. The laws of averages should tell you most Liberals.........would sooner pay someone than get their fingernails dirty..

what is the gta, if not the epitome of convenience, the fast life, over indulgence, not a clue about nature, how ecosystems work, etc etc.

Mosq. ? How about chaga? Do you imbibe? Gil or I could fix you up with a nice 'chunk'.

We started Chaga back when the fiance was diagnosed.

Over the years I have slowly increased the output of our vegetable garden. Trying to find the right mix of things to do, stuff we like, and also what can be harvested, stored or canned. Slowly getting there. My asparagus patch will be year 3 this June. Cant wait for our first harvest.

In my grow room ;)
About a dozen Bok Choi, that I try to continuously cycle. As a few are ready harvest leaves, start new seedlings. With some in between. Basically a steady flow of Bok Choi.
6 Bell pepper plants. Almost but not quite ensures there's always 3 or 4 ready to harvest. Sometimes as occurred not long ago I had 20+ all ripen at the same time.
Green Onions and Garlic.
1 Tomato. This has been the hardest to figure out in terms one finishing off, with another almost right behind it.
2 potato. As one gets close to harvesting another is starting.

I'm toying with the idea of starting a worm farm

BINGO...

Look at what happened with the provincial government who had to pick up the pieces after the Liberals destroyed the economy of Ontario. Ford is forced to make cuts and everyone is up in arms after him. Teachers strikes that damaged our education system and he was blamed, not the Liberals who put him into that position.

People like Gilly still blame Harper for having to deal with the economic disaster that Jean Cretien left the country in.

We are better off with this minority Government that has it's wings clipped. No more money in the well. Fix the economy and stop hurting it with this ridiculous Climate Change nonsense.

I could literally pick a 100lbs of King Bolets in my area. Frequently get 10-15lbs of Morals, and 6 -8 pounds of Chanterelles each season. This doesn't include the 30 pds of wild asparagus I pick each year. I have fields of oregano, thyme, mint, parsley, ginger on public lands I hunt. Apple and pear trees (a few), 2 plum trees I visit each year, are abundant on the public lands around Ottawa, I make my pectin, apple vinegar, apple butter, sauce from free apples.

Tons of Chaga which I just learned about benefits in last 12 months - I have yet to harvest some, but lots of it.

You have to be careful of who you tell where you’re chaga is located. It is worth a lot of money and an area can be stripped very quick. Takes many years to grow a softball sized piece. Responsible harvesting is the way to go.

Yes, occasionally with a bit of buckwheat honey (local) or the wildflower honey I got through Levhaolam's store, I just ordered a Turkeytail kit to try it and to make sure I can identify what I am 99.9% are turkeytails on the logs at the cottage.

Sounds real good, I made some morel slurries (lots of recipes how to do it out there) and put down around the cottage so maybe a chance there but the only mushrooms other than what I think are turkeytails that I see around the cottage when I looked up ... all poisonous. I planted a yellow plum and got black stuff growing all over it and the squirrels have found ways onto the trees (including what I would call sky diving from higher trees) and other than the yellow raspberries rabbits, raccoons and even a coyote (one day sitting eating apples under the tree) get fed better than me... and my wife will spend hours on grass and flowers in the garden but hates the small veggie patch... so much so that when I made it a foot bigger on one side she showed up with 2 rolls of sod to "fix" it. I got some Goji berries from Bambooplants and have been quietly adding them and replacing some of the bushes she won't notice. The hardy kiwi and grapes on the fence just did nothing this year... this year just had nothing.

If you have birch trees and lots of time you can try growing it on your own trees but it sounds like alot of effort to get it started and really really slow to grow.
