Burdock leaves are pretty massive!
What to do with them? Throw them in the compost of course everything has a purpose.
Do you grow burdock?!

06/07/2026

Burdock root is simply one of my favorite medicinal herbs among rosemary, lavender, stinging nettle, chamomile just to name a few others.
Burdock is a supporter of liver & kidneys, so it’s a mild diuretic.
It’s also a supporter of the lymphatic system
Essentially it helps to assist in body waste.
I completely dry the root in the oven, & once completely dry I use to steep in teas.
Does this medicinal herbs interest you enough to grow in your own?

The spittle bug does look pretty cute
This “spit” protects the baby from heat, dehydration & predators from my understanding.
This is found on my yarrow & daisies.
When they are adults the are called frog hoppers.
Nature is pretty awesome, I love finding different insects in our little ecosystem, as long as they don’t jump on me or fly in my hair & I won’t be touching them but from afar I’ll enjoy them.
Do you have these in your garden?!

A photo of 8 trays about 17 plants potted in each one. Another 4 trays of 17 plants in each one. That’s 204 plants potted up in two days 1 hours each.
I still have 2 trays to pot up along with a few scattered 6 cells that will be ready in a few weeks
Tomorrow will be starting all the melons, more lettuces, flowers & brassicas to keep succession plating, have enough to gift to family, & possibly have my girls have a little plant cell in our neighborhood.
I should have from the start but will have to go through and tally everything I have of each variety.

This weekend!
Plants will be started in the greenhouse!
I’ll be repotting endless amounts of hot peppers, tomatoes & flowers in our grow tents in the basement.
I’ll be starting some seeds outside in our covered garden beds.
I’m so ready for sun & sunshine.

What have you started growing in your greenhouse?!

For context my oldest filmed this for me & was motioning with her finer a 3,2,1 countdown and was in serious face filming mode haha.
But really I’m tired.
I potted around
48 hot peppers
24 flowers
6 Luffas
24 tomatoes & I haven’t really dented my seedling trays & of course have over filled the grow tents.
I sometimes enjoy uppotting & other times not so much when my back & legs can’t get up from being in the same position.

I hope you enjoyed this video of my most frustrating task in the garden.
My husband did come to my rescue for the first part thankfully.
I clearly get frustrated easily & so not ask for help 🤦‍♀️
What’s your frustrating task in the garden when prepping?!

It’s spring! Come with us to one of our favorite locations to gather supplies for the garden.
Not only a great selection but super sweet staff!
The hours are limited at the moment so check before you drive out.
Have you started gearing up for this years growing season?!

It was a party in the greenhouse as it was the starts first overnight.
Cosmos, zinnias & other flowers have started to sprout in the greenhouse as well.
Got to clean up the flower, medicinal herb bed.
