What an interesting idea for composting. Thank you for sharing this.

Nice! My planting time is getting closer and I can’t wait. But I must.

I have too many favorites to count. I grow chamomile, peppermint, lemon balm, basil, dill, tulsi, oregano, thyme, rosemary, horseradish, and spearmint just because I love the taste. Their medicinal use is a bonus. I also have comfrey, catnip, stinging nettle, echinacea, black eyed Susan, calendula, yarrow, wild lettuce and plantain for medicine. I’m sure I’m missing some. I’m adding marshmallow and hops and replanting elderberries this year. The cows got into and destroyed my elderberry patch last year. 😥

I love canning stews. I’ve canned beef stew (steak, potato, carrot, and onion). Today I’m canning pork stew with the vegetables and pork tenderloin. They are great to have on hand when I need something quick.

I went to inspect the area yesterday and there is nothing. 😥 The cows did a good job of destroying the area. It was next to a creek and it looks like they decided to make that spot their highway to the water. Oh, well. I’ve planted another 25 elderberries but will have to wait a year for my harvest.

I am hopeful that will be the case, but we are planting in 3 different areas so if something happens to one patch, I’ll have backups. Last year we didn’t pick any elderberries to make syrup and had to purchase dried elderberry so we would be set for the winter. I never want that to happen again.
