Some highlights of the week
I love a post about mistakes, because there is so much to be learnt from them. @artonmysleeve gives us a [tour of the allotment and highlights some of the mistakes that he plans not to repeat.](https://hive.blog/garden/@artonmysleeve/june-30th-tour-of-the-plot-episode-mistakes)

Palm oil is a product that is hotly debated at the moment, due to the way much of it is farmed. Debating aside, I was fascinated to be able to follow [the process of harvesting and producing this oil,](https://hive.blog/hive-174578/@froshboy/assisting-my-grandmother-in-palm-oil-production) as demonstrated by @froshboy.

We've become so accustomed to the standard mushrooms in the supermarket, we probably rarely think about the range of other edible mushrooms available. @plantstoplanks showcases some [amazing market finds](https://hive.blog/hive-120078/@plantstoplanks/amazingmarketfindspictureperfectoystermushrooms-v9oapcqfgg) of the mushroom kind and how she used them. If these don't peak your interest, I don't know what else will!

This week an article from @homestead-guru, who has been looking into some fascinating research into [whether plants feel pain,](https://hive.blog/news/@homestead-guru/do-plants-feel-pain-new-studies-show-plants-make-noise-when-stressed) has really captured my attention. It raises ideas on how this can be used to an advantage in agriculture.
