What did you do in the garden today?

Quote: I will pray that you get some of this rain. Usually in the summer here it will rain almost daily.
Rains arrived today!! Yesterday afternoon the clouds set in, but I was not hopefull as that has happened so many times this May. BUt today the skies opened up and it has been on and off drizzling.

Thrilled!!!! lol this is just the kind of rain to get the soils to remember how to absorb the rain. Light drizzle over a couple days expected. WHOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTT

My husband loves picking the fresh veggies for our salads!

Just like my kids.

That's great you got some rain! We had some bad storms come thru last night and did quit a bit of damage to my pens. It's taken most of the day so far to get it fixed.

I'm hoping the eggs my BR hens have been on nearly a month will still hatch.

Rain you say? I think I recall what that is.....


AHHH!!! it is so dry here!
I have blueberry raisins.

I don't know why none of that coming up out of the gulf has not helped you. I'm sorry. I hope you get some rain soon.

Was gifted some herbs, cat nip, oregano, thym and comfrey, planted them... What do you do with comfrey? Any one grow it?

I have Russian Comfrey growing in the back. Its one of the sterile kinds that do not set seed and I bought roots to get them going. They are in their own bed, since I read I will never be able to dig all the roots out once they are established, and they'll keep coming back from the root pieces!

True comfrey sets seeds and I have heard it really spreads and takes over. Be careful where you plant it, too.

I'll be using my as a compost activator and to make healing salves. People used it for fodder and medicinal teas, but recent studies showed that it can damage the liver so the current recommendation is for external use only.
