A plot in progress
Since the middle of April (when the last snow fell in northern Illinois), my Lady Friend and I have been digging out a circular garden in her parents' yard. The family visited Vancouver BC in 2004, and her mother was taken by the Physic Garden at the University of British Columbia's Botanical Garden [see feature G on the garden map]. She's wanted a similarly styled plot ever since.
We've had few obligations and many days to fill since returning from Korea. Thus, this:
The boundary area that surrounds the beds comes to 1,024 square feet. The total area of the beds themselves is 227 square feet. Not intentional (but certainly amusing).
Speaking of amusement...
Oh, by the way... while I was clearing out oh-so-much garlic mustard from the treeline, I discovered the mushroom below. Can anyone identify it? One book I checked pointed toward a Boletus species, but the low growth and the wide, compacted crown make me think it might be a chanterelle.

Just wanted to let you know that the mushroom in your yard is not a chanterelle. Chanterelles have gills that run down onto the stalk, not a spongy bottom. They can be a variety of colors, but they never have the scaly appearance of the mushroom in the picture. It is likely a Bolete or a Suillis, although I can't tell from the picture. Good luck with IDing it!
