The Medicinal Herb Garden is going gangbusters. Already replenished the supply of Prunella Vulgaris, harvested some elderberry flowers and looking forward to more.



Above are BeeBalm flowers, Meadowsweet flowers with attached leaves, Elderberry flowers.
All ingredients in our tea that I make to keep sickness at bay. We haven’t had colds or the like for years.




But since you didn’t ask….I’ll tell ya anyway. Shot of the straw bale experiment that’s been going on for a couple years now. These are tomatoes that popped up in the compost pile earlier, along with some lettuce that was exhausted in its original location. The second chance bale.
Trying to see how much you can put into a bale and still have it produce. Straw bale garden is going to get bigger next year. The experiment is working.





In bales or in the ground…trellising the Butternut Squash works great. Plants took to it like a mountain climber takes to the mountains.
