Rain, harvesting, foraging, fermenting

Awww the smell of fresh rain. Like our fermentables … a cultural imprint, derived from our ancestors.

We avoid harvesting during or immediately after rainfall.

Foraging or harvesting two days after a rain shower is recommended for fermentables.

The microorganisms have been washed away on the rainy day and haven’t had time to re-establish the following day.

After two fine days they are good for pickin’ and will be full of moisture and the good beasties will be present in heavy concentrations.

?and bacteria, Lynnie
