That mushroom compost sounds and looks great! I am expanding my flower garden beds (using “no dig” method—cardboard topped with 4-6 inches of compost), and needed a lot, so I used up all of my own homemade compost and got 5 more yards delivered. But it’s just “basic compost”—unfortunately not certified anything! I asked what it’s made of and they said grass and leaves. Should I be nervous it has bad stuff in it? Well, my fingers are crossed.
My area finally, finally had a light frost a few days ago. Normally it would happen by around October 20, so it was delightful to still have so many dahlias and morning glories and zinnias and phlox, etc blooming so late! I still see some nice scabiosa going strong. But I did feel the need to cut it all down (besides the scabiosa) to get my fall garden jobs done. Ready for March!!
