Tell us about your garden and what you're growing

I have been growing mushrooms as a hobby for a few years now and have started looking for mushrooms that would be suitable for a forest garden. Some will have to be imported as the chance of coming across them in the bush is quite small even though they are around.
I have kept Bees in the past so can offer some advice to novice beekeepers. I am also interested in rearing Bumblebee colonies which I have done before if anyone is interested in learning.
Haven't got a huge garden at the moment, a few fruit trees and herbs in pots, runner beans in their fourth year.
