Today I spent a good deal of time processing bee balm for the dehydrators. This didn’t leave a lot of time for working in the gardens. I got the 3rd row cleaned out and amended then had to quit. It was too hot.
Here’s some of the herbs you can see in the photo above:
Blue flax from Row 2
I never expected this to survive a winter here, but it sure did! It’s such a lovely shade of blue.
Wormwood from Row 1
This was transplanted back in April from Row 7. It sure doesn’t look like it bothered it much.
Bee balm in Row 3
This patch is far too overgrown. I am thinning it out and dehydrating it for the layers in winter. I’ve got 2 rainy days coming so I plan to keep both dehydrators going.
Chive blossoms in Row 7
Another transplant done in April. It sure is doing well.
Oregano in Row 7
This was also transplanted in April. It had a tendency to grow to 6’ across. We cut it down in size when we moved it, so maybe, just maybe, it won’t try to take over the garden.
I also spent the hot afternoon transcribing my scribbled notes into the garden records. I plan to get the records up to date while it rains.
My husband plans to haul in mulch while it rains. When it stops, I will have plenty to do between finishing the planting and mulching.
