What did you do in the garden today?

Here's my raised bed.

I transplanted herbs in the garden yesterday.
Rosemary, lavender, hyssop, and fennel.

Yesterday, I started the water pump ( before, I watered the garden with watering cans) and lugged the heavy hoses around me and soaked the ground where I could ( took me 3 hrs), planted a red sage , cleaned out more nettles and did the laundry , this morning, my shoulder said ; I didn’t like what you did yesterday! so I couldn’t even gather my hair in a bun , reach the cupboard or do a million litte other things thank God it got a little bit better during the day, I look forward to showering tomorrow

Being that sore always sucks, and it always happens when you get the urge to get good progress done.
For me, especially in the garden. Lol

Hmm, you seem to be missing Genovese Basil.

@cj2024 , I'm all set with Genovese basil now. My little drip coffee maker quit working this morning so I had to make cowboy coffee in a saucepan.

I decided to go to Walmart and get another $10 drip coffee maker, and while there I got seeds too.



I also bought Black Seeded Simpson leaf lettuce seeds, which was the only type my grandpa grew years ago. And okra too, which I love... when FRIED!

Black seeded simpson is a pretty nice variety.
I grew it last year.

BSS has a mild, delicate flavor, but it doesn't handle heat well. When mine bolts the chickens will get a treat!

Exactly!
Have you ever grown Salanova lettuce?

It's more expensive, but I grow it and it's amazing!
