After sitting on the stone bench early last morning I came into the kitchen and something bit me on the neck. I flicked it off, but my hair was full of flecks, crawling with ants. I tried to knock them off and simultaneously step on them before they got into the pantry, which was a losing game. Run to the shower, dripping ants on my way.

[livejournal.com profile] hosterman, the Hericium abietis sawdust-sack has at least one good blob growing out -- it doesn't have the icicle-spines yet, but I think it's just starting to deploy them at the bottom.

We found ourselves out of garlic at 11:30 last night, so I went out with a headlamp to dig up one of the plants that had been withering. The first one I dug up... had no bulb, anywhere, in all that dirt. The second one I found a bulb on, about the size of a walnut, with three good cloves in it. Maybe the non-withering plants are that way because they have bigger cloves?
