I feel like such a rookie reading through these replies 😆 I eat my herbs via pestos, sauces and spice mixtures. I dry almost all of my herbs and pre mix them into mixes that I use most often like spaghetti sauce, tacos, meatloaf etc. I have started experimenting with some oil infusions but for the most part I’m still mainly eating them.

I deeply appreciate honest and detailed reviews, thank you for posting your experience!
-
I’m the same way! If it’ll hold soil and let out water, it’s good to go in my book. Gardening can get super expensive really quick I cut corners when and where I’ve learned I can 😊

We have two food banks in our area that take produce, a quick google search will show you if you have any local. It’s my go-to if I have excess that I’d like to share.

They’re so cute 😍

Me too! I was late on nearly all my brassicas and didn’t get a single cauliflower or broccoli hopefully fall will be my saving grace.

I just recently learned that fire ants eat flea larvae but didn’t know that they ate the flea beetle larvae too, nature is amazing. I have found myself making friends with paper wasps and bees despite being allergic 😂 If they help keep my brassicas alive I am willing to step aside and let them do their thing, I just wish I had as many ladybugs as I do bees 👍

Is that a flea beetle?

You should still have plenty of time if you wanted to try for a pea harvest this year 👍 I know if I don’t plant early enough in the spring mine burn up before I can harvest and sometimes I get too excited for my fall planting and end up burning up another round 😂 I do succession plant so it’s rare that I lose an entire crop.
-
Agreed! The only place I can see one is back out on my feed 🤔
-
Exactly! Gardening is heavily dependent on the weather and we all know who has the ability to control it. It’s gonna take a whole lot more than seeds.
-
Yes! I’m having that problem now with my second planting, I’ve had to save pollen and hand germinate nearly every stalk.
-
What zone are you? You may have time for a second planting. I’m 6b and just finished fall plantings and sweet peas were top of the list. Peas are one of my crops that I’m lucky if any make it indoor for long-term storage, I eat them all 😂

Could be a cut worm, they love to take out my smaller plants. Stick a stick into the ground right up next to the stems and it should keep the cut worms at bay.

Amen! I am so thankful for what I was able to produce this season, I’ve been growing for 10 years and some are much smoother than others. Powdery mildew is the bane of my existence it manages to take hold every season despite my attempts to eradicate it. Last year I made sure to burn every leaf and stem and then when we trimmed trees we burned all the cuttings in the garden plot sadly it didn’t even make a dent in the powdery mildews vengeance.
