A childhood favorite for planting

March 18, 2020 ~ M Ress ~ 1 Comment

This is a local wild plant that is totally edible and forgeable that grows... everywhere! The name supposedly comes from the miner '49ers who … Continue reading A childhood favorite for planting

It's always good to be busy. And i'm going to be busy. My plan to turn the back bed into onion land continues. You might also spy another oregano back there, as well as a celery. I've never grown celery before, I hear it's hard. Got some soil, and a mystery plant. Got a trellis … Continue reading Gearing up for some work
