Our Garden at the Time we had Access to Spent Mushroom Compost

 After retirement and living and working in Indonesia we slowly could start establishing our garden.

The BEST years were when we had access to the Spent Mushroom Compost!

Mixing that in with the rather poor soil we have here, with hardly any waterholding capacity... did the trick.

This will give you an idea about how things USED to look, with the usage of that miracle Spent Mushroom Compost...
Mushroom Cultivation's BONUS!
When viewed on YouTube you can find lots of clickable links below video about things from the video... ENJOY!

Our Biking Trip

 On Sunday, July 4th we went both biking and had the road almost to ourselves...

Did use Relive for capturing the area to see it from above!

This yellow marking below gives you also a good idea about the hilly area we live in.

There are two rather steep hills with first a 9.6% grade, followed by a 10.9% grade...

The picture from a large field with green plants, is one of Georgia peanut plants. Plenty for harvest later around December!

On Strava, my maximum speed was 54.4 km per hour and on Relive it shows 58 km per hour...

Guess the video below from Relive does slightly exaggerate on speed... 😉

We have enjoyed quite a showcase of Hydrangeas this summer!

So far we have enjoyed a very fertile spring and summer with LOTS of rain and thunder.

Perfect for a garden but not so great if you would love to bike...!

On the left is a purple Mophead  Hydrangea and a Hydrangea Macrophylla Ayesha to the right. 

Colors are so intense this summer!

Have you enjoyed Hydrangeas this summer?
