Welcome!

Anyone can garden-from herbs in the windowsill to pots on the patio to small plots for veggies in your yard.

I actually have more challenges than most-which is why I have such easy solutions! enjoy-and grow more food!

WEEDS!

the persistent rains led to a huge number of weeds in the beds. Hard to tell in multi planted beds sometimes.....and it was way too wet to work with any kind of hoe.so..

back to hand weeding. and feeding just about all of it to the chickens.yup, weeds have uses.At least with wet ground the weeds come right up!

all the clover gets laid down as "mulch" around the plants.chickweed and plantain and dock are chicken feed. anything else if it hasn;t gone to seed can go in the compost.

I've finally emptied the kitchen compost into the garden compost ( we separate out kitchen garbage because-the dogs will eat it.) I have to start covering all the beds with a layer of compost-because after all our wet weather, it turned hot. almost 100 degrees 3 days in a row.

now everything out there in the yard is-adobe.Well, on to the next project!
