More on Mushrooms
South Austin Brite Ideas is offering a FREE class with Jason Avent, Mushrooms and Mushroom Composting For your Garden.
Mushrooms are a delicious and nutritious food. Learn how easy these are to grow and how their "leftovers" of mushroom compost are a valuable addition to your garden and landscape. Make your own mushrooms and compost out of the wastes you already have and unlock the value of your organic resources. Live in-class inoculation!

Sunshine's Snow Surprise
On Friday, December 8, community member Tim Loughran captured images of Sunshine in the snow. Thank you for rising early and sharing the photographs, Tim!
Sunshine gardeners were lucky that this snow was not accompanied by a hard freeze, so it is thought that no one lost winter crops.
RIP, A Chicken Coop Loss
From Ila Falvey: The little Banty passed on to chicken Heaven Dec. 12 after a long life (18 years) at Sunshine.
