Yup, we store them in the basement also. But I just looked up curing sweet potatoes and it is a thing, mainly for flavor. Then it said to "store it a cool dry place" as the Traveling Wilburys would say. Personally, I never saw much difference myself which is why I was asking.

 

I am still harvesting kale, green onions, arugula, romain, carrots, beets and apples. I have planted 270 garlic cloves between the home and old homestead gardens.

I am also building a large new compost pile for next season, as well as starting my annual bagged leaf collection. This pile is cooking at >150f.

 

Anyone here grow mushrooms? (No, not that kind, and I said grow, not use.) Just the typical white button mushrooms, nothing fancy. I'm a creature of habit and typically have sauteed bell peppers and mushrooms every morning with my eggs (usually in a homemade burrito with salsa or green chiles and black bear sausage).

I have good luck growing bell peppers but have never tried growing mushrooms. Would rather grow my own than buy them at the store. I looked at some online 'starter' kits a couple years ago but never pulled the trigger as they had mixed reviews.

 

This was a thread in Hobbies and Interest started by metalcuttr a few years ago.
Does anybody grow their own mushrooms for home use?

 

Thanks!
