What did you do in the garden today?

Garden jaunt this morning... A bit cool at 60 degrees.

First time I've EVER been successful with lavender!

Strawberries doing the best they've ever done for me. No blight for the first time ever with these new beds!

We dropped to 34 last night.
Tonight and tomorrow night we'll be down to 28 for a few hours. I'll toss another layer on the herb garden tonight.
The verge of the pasture needs a quick trim with the mower, but the rest, and the main lawn, can go wild for all I care. Cutting it short in drought is too hard on it. My neighbors all cut too close in a good year, and then water it to death to keep it green.
I'm not wasting my well on a green lawn.

Am thinking harder and harder about a freeze dryer. Thanks guys. Geesh.
I'm leaning towards the small one, but locally they sell the medium one.

Yours looks better than mine. Have you eaten any of the Merlot yet?
