Got out in the garden later than I wanted. I harvested the 2nd of the 3 beets I planted. I dislike beets and when my daughter asked me, ''Why did you plant beets?'' I responded with, ''Because they are easy to grow.'' I just wanted to grow food. I just have to figure out who will eat it. 🫣😬🤣 Because everyone in the family and my goodness friend Echo knows what beets do to me. Great memories 🤣🤣🤣
I thinned out the carrots a little. I appreciated the bell peppers some more. I honestly didn't realize how many peppers grew on one plant! Definitely a food we love, so that makes my heart happy! ❤️ My daughters rhubarb is huge. There are actually two of them. The other one is huge too. They both have waterlines now, and that helped a lot.
The St. John's wort, the bees love. I also have wild yarrow too. I don't usually pull them out of my garden for several reasons. Feeding the bees is a bonus. The biggest medicinal wild plant that I didn't try growing in my garden, but apparently I am a master gardener with it, is Mullein. Its everywhere. Tons of first year plants and several second years that I plan on harvesting seeds from. I mean God allowed it in here for a reason. I've never seen so much of it in one area before. Must be a sign. 🧐☺️🙏 And honestly I didn't try growing the others but there are fewer of them and that is a main reason I don't touch them, because I want them to go to seed amd spread. ❤️
