So- it's been a fun few days taking stock of what I have and what I would get in a normal environment and what I can make do with. Trellises! Not that hard to make if you have old bamboo stakes!

I had a lot of work to do yesterday, the carrots and potatoes weren't even the half of it. I had to wrestle the sun herb bed into shape for one. That sage is super overgrown. And the chamomile is no longer viable. Well for me anyways. I had a few cups of chamomile tea … Continue reading Mixed beds and new plants
