Hope everyone is doing well , I haven't been on the computer for a few days , it was a very busy weekend around here. I've been busy harvesting wild herbs , chopping roots and making tinctures. I've made chickweed , dandelion , echinacea , yellow dock and dandelion/yellow dock combination tinctures. As I dug the echinacea Friday , I separated the plants and replanted them , in a few years I should have a beautiful stand of echinacea aka purple cone flowers.
Yesterday , I began planting the garlic seed . We were planning to have it in the ground by Oct 15th , but we've had so much rain , the garden has been to wet to plow and get ready for planting. I got 2 rows planted , but plan to plant 2 more , it's suppose to rain today and tomorrow , so the other rows will have to wait until it dries up again. We also cut and stacked firewood yesterday , so much to do and so little time it seems. But , I'm thankful for what we have accomplished.
I've been creating each day , a couple of drawings , some pine cone crafts , herbal goodies and I hope gardening counts. I've sent Dh for batteries twice , the first time on Halloween and he forgot them , the second time he went to our local Dollar General and they didn't have any rechargeable batteries. So I don't have pics , I've got to venture out to the grocery store sometime this week , so I'll pick some up. I'll be blopping ( blog hopping today ) , so I'll be by to visit soon.

ReplyDeleteYou have been busy!!!
ReplyDeleteI got a bunch of rechargeable batteries from ebay - great price -compared to what I've paid before - and with a bunch I never run out, for grandson's toys, clocks, radios, camera.
ReplyDeleteI'm always impressed by everything you do with your garden/plants. It's refreshing to see someone growing a good portion of their vegetables and herbs. Good luck with the rest. Hopefully the weather will be nicer.

There always seems to be so much to do at this time of year. And as you said, It is a good busy! :0)
ReplyDeleteBusy Bee you've been !!!!! I would love to know more about herbs and native plants. I know some, but there is so much to learn (and enjoy). Wishing you a good day.
