What did you do in the garden today?

I must have missed something... What is the tincture for?

Black walnut hulls has medicinal properties. The hulls contain juglone, which has fungicidal and antibiotic properties.

It's high in antioxidants, is a good source of iodine, fights bacterial and viral infections, and parasites. It can also be used to treat ringworm, eczema, etc.

Plus more...these trees have so much to offer

I managed to get motivated at least a little bit. Got the shade garden cleaned out and laid down a strip of weed barrier, the heavy duty kind. Wired my metal rooster to a paver so he doesn’t get knocked/blown over all the time and moved him outside, put my ducks on the trellis in the center and picked up my tools. I had some trimmings from the welded wire I put around the lilacs, worked great for that! I’m going to give the crew some fresh water and call it a day. It’s supposed to get warm today, 89, and I’m hoping hubs will BBQ some chicken thighs tonight.

Awoke to 32' and it dropped to 30 with a chill of 19.
Growing season is over.
More importantly the bugs are gone.
I put in two of the run window, just to block the wind.

Holy cow, it's so warm here & the mosquitos are insane! Can't wait for a good freeze to take them all out.

I took a walk thru the garden & was attacked by bees, mosquitos & flies! So weird for Oct. The wildflowers are all coming back to life like its summer.

The beans are for sure done. Drying to harvest seeds

The butterfly weed has gone to seed too, it's so neat looking
