What did you do in the garden today?

A systemic herbicide, such as glyphosate or 2, 4-D, can be applied to the foliage in late summer. It will be taken down to the root. A more targeted approach would be to cut the plant near the ground and apply undiluted herbicide to the wound. The herbicide has a shorter trip into the taproot.

Remember to always read the label for specific application sites, precautions, and mix rates. l
I found this on removing pokeweed.

I add olive oil some days

How much do you add and how do you mix it in so that it doesn't just float on top?

You should grow a few coffee trees! I mean, you can grow them where you live so, why not!

If you want to go that route, MIGardener sells coffee seeds. (With a note that they aren’t restocking their store until around the 1st of November.)

Still not feeling great. I hate being sick. But I went to the doctor today for a regular appointment. I've been instructed to take it easy... I do not like being idle. But I want to drink beer on Saturday so I will do as I'm told.

Watered the carrot patch. I hope to see sprouts soon. Transplanted some scarlet kale. Picked raspberries and strawberries. I hope to plant garlic this weekend.

Feel better ♡

Usually a tablespoon. I eyeball it these days though.I have a few methods, I drink my coffee out of a portable, sealing, stainless steel, insulated coffee/beverage tumbler. So, I shake my coffee up once it's about half empty every time I go to drink it. Or I froth it into a bit of heavy cream which is a pain in the butt. Or when I'm at my MIL I use the milk steam wand on her fancy machine to mix it into milk foam, which actually works pretty well. Sometimes I just fill a shot glass with olive oil and drink it before I have my coffee...

It's an acquired taste in my opinion. But the health benefits are worth learning to love it. But, we get oil for labor every year. We harvest olives at my MIL house. We usually make 40ish gallons of oil. I'm a few years we'll be getting way more since my MIL tore out her fruit orchard to plant 92 Olive trees. We have the best oil I've ever tasted. We hand sort the olives, so no bad or damaged olives, or leaves, go in the press. Every year we get about two cases of 500ml bottles of oil for our annual supply. We use almost all of it.
