Garden Update

Once I weeded everything in the garden, it was time to go back through it again. Thankfully this time went much quicker.

I did end up weed whipping the south end of the garden. I never got to it the first time and the thistles just keep coming. 

Our garlic is part of that jungle. It's pretty tall and almost ready to harvest. 

Our volunteer onion is flowering.

I couldn't find the other volunteers so either I chopped them off accidentally or the weeds crowded them out. 

It feels like our garden isn't doing a whole lot, but I did pick a few things. My weed whipping unearthed a zucchini. We have a few green beans, one cucumber, and a handful of radishes. 

The flowers are calendula and can be used for medicinal purposes - tea, salve, etc. 

I have them on a drying rack now (the best way to preserve their medicinal qualities so they aren't degraded by heat).
