I had to cut down the last of the shungiku- largely because the ailing plant had become a scale and aphid factory. I kept it going for a while because it was feeding the ladybugs and bees, but it was finally time. Luckily the bees have plenty to snack on besides a giant dying spindly … Continue reading June Blooms

Trying to fix the sun herb bed

Well I had to push the grand soil haul til tomorrow, but that didn't mean I could rest on my laurels. The weather is beautiful out- and coupled with the return of daylight savings I have a ton more usable time out in the garden. It was around 70 degrees out in the hottest part … Continue reading Captain’s log: March 14th 2019
