I wanted crayfish in my pond but I’m afraid they’ll eat the salamander and frog eggs. Must look into that. My neighbour has Koi but I can’t think of eating those.

Will try get some Oystermushroom mychorrizia too. Think they will like my garage :)

I ache all over!

Yesterday I took part in a “helpout thingy” I painted, built a stone wall, planted and learnt to fight weeds and photographed the other 19 altruistic people. I did learn a lot. The Host of this event trades work with other beings. Maybe I can help him out with something and he will teach me how to repair and renovate the “hole in the ground” I recently bought.

well it is one step further towards my goal.
ps. we had some wonderful food and cakes and in the evening a crayfish party….that is why my head aches too….the damn dill! always the dill!
