Summer Garden

Our front garden is mostly perennials, including rudbeckia, gloriosa daisies, asiatic lillies, and several varieties of daylillies. If anyone in the area wants to trade daylilly varieties, come on by this fall.

Plush Velvet

I neglected to hang this cheese curd before a quick trip to my Mother’s. When I returned two days later, it was coated with a snow-white velvety growth (which this picture does not do justice to.) I have seen this before, when I am being lazy behind in my cheesy chores. I like to think it is Geotrichum or Penicillium (which would be good), but it may be white Mucor (which would be bad).
