What did you do in your garden today?

[Dreamz]

pain is no fun, i hope it will moderate for you soon!

never heard of that herb before and won't be able to try it but eventually i may so i'll try to keep it in mind.

I am sure hoping so. It might be some type of neorupathy or something because I have not hurt my knee at all and I do have trigeminal neuralgia already. Here is a pic of the cu;lantro that I found on the internet.

it's hard to work around issues, i have to do that too. sometiimes i garden by using a groundpillow to sit on or use it to kneel on which saves the knees added irritation. ultimately though it helps me a lot to keep moving instead of not so i do what i can and rest the times i can't.

I might try to find what I can use as a dirtpillos but worries me that once I go down it might take me a week to get back up,lol 60 is always 60 no matter how much it gets buttered,lol

the tomatoes are hard for me to plant too because i put them down deeply plus i also have worms/worm compost from heavy buckets i want to use in those holes so i have to dig them down pretty deeply (a shovel and a half). it ends up being worth the effort but it is hard on my back to lean over those holes and to get those buckets out to the gardens and to scoop things into the holes. once planted half way (i put the plants down deep enough to begin with and i select taller plants too from the greenhouse) i put enough dirt in the hole to cover the root ball and then water it in good to make sure the soil is compacted enough, then i go back another round and add more dirt and water it all in again so they're well situated. i don't lose my transplants this way and they do much better in the hotter parts of the summer because they have deeper roots.

I do not have any worm compost. Never done it and I might pass on that. I will not touch any worms not even the dead dried ones they sell for chickens,lol I have no clue on compost. I do have a corner where I throw all kinds of things like chicken manure, potato peels, carrot peels, left over lettuce the chicken do not eat or tomatoes, dried oak tree leaves and branches. Have been there for over a year and have no clue what to do with it. However, your method makes a lot of sense. I might try doing transplanting instead of keeping the seeds from the tomatoes,lol

@Chic Rustler That is a lot of onions and garlic! Congratulations on your harvest! I have 2 pots with sweet onion seedlings but have not put on the ground yet. I wonder if I am late on the Onion game. The tag reads as sweet spanish onions.

Worst case scenario is onion sets for next year or pearl onions. Go for it!

I plant onions in January too - indoors. The longer they grow before the days get long, the larger bulb they can set.

@Chic Rustler do you plant seeds or sets?

sets

Harvested chamomile

Good! I have no clue what it can be used for in the US, but my mom always made tea with it for everything. From stomach pain, unable to sleep or maybe she just liked to put grasses on boiling water,lol

Today I did nothing. Raining again and had to take hub to medical appointment. Stopped at HD and bought some fencing panels and posts and also got some plastic lattice panels to make a bitty fence around the girls house (coop). Want to plant some mint,lavender,and basil to help with any smell even though I clean their coop every day. It will also help repell bugs as well. I only put cinnamon around for bugs but want to keep them safe from flies and bees. Will be sunny tomorrow, so will let you know what damage I get to do,lol

I had frost this morning. Fortunately it only did a little leaf damage on 3 of the pepper plants.

We will get the 90s a day or two after you.

Only concerned about the lettuce at this time

Lettuce might bolt.

Jesus is Lord and Christ 🙏❤️🇺🇸

Oh, Lord. I over did it yesterday for sure. Went to HD and grabbed breakfast to bring home. With all the hurrying, forgot to take my pills and then with so much pain, I just went to bed all morning. No chores were done, no planting either.


Found about the plant. Bad for pets and some farm animals. Hope to feel better tomorrow so I can cut it off or something.


I also need to plant those tomatoes and the onions. Here is a picture of their tag front and back.

I just looked at your original comment and that's not Yarrow.

I agree.

 

[Dreamz]

Can you give us a photo of the plant from the side?

Are the flowers on that bushYarrow.

This is what I have. Will take a few more pictures in the morning.
