Having mint growing is a lawn is wonderful if you cut your own grass. Every time I do the lawn, the air fills with the mint smell.

@lakers361 19 күн бұрын

Growing up in FL, we had mint that grew all over our lawn, and I agree with the wonderfulness of aromatic mowing. I have a square raised bed I grow my herbs in these days. I decided to let the mint grow there, already knowing how invasive it is. It turns out that my 8 bantam chickens LOVE it, though! I take them a few handfuls daily, pulling up a stem with its root runner. It keeps the bed in check. The only thing the chickens eat faster are the greens from the volunteer white icicle radishes that are coming up in my lawn, grown from seed fallen out of another raised bed. I call the mint and radish greens my “chicken salad”. 😉

If you plan on growing blackberries, I strongly recommend planting a thornless variety. Black berries are extremely invasive, and the plants with thorns are absolutely treacherous. However, the ones with thorns do make a great barrier to keep people out of an area.

We had a cultivated blackberry along our hedge. Lovely big sweet but tangy fruits. We bottled them for winter in a light syrup. I used to strain the fruit and make blackberry crumble for dinner (we had dinner at dinner time about 1pm) and add gelatin to the juice to make a jelly (jello?) For tea.

@pennydubose9867 25 күн бұрын

I don’t know about other geographic regions, but when I lived in north Georgia wild blackberries were plentiful. But I only went blackberry picking twice. Tiny red bugs you can barely see that we called chiggers live around the bushes, and they burrow into your skin without your knowing it. The next day you’ll be itching like crazy. There must be ways to protect yourself, but I just went back to buying my blackberries at the grocery store.

I planted about 40 asparagus plants about 30 years ago. I used to get tired of so much of it, that i'd give it away at work. Now, I'm down to about 6 plants which are still quite productive. Had a rosemary plant that lasted about 25 years, the next lasted only 1.5 years due to a hard winter.

I love rosemary. I am propagating one right now. I took a few cuttings from our big one. I am going to put it in the ground. When it gets large enough, some of the stems get woody, i cut them at about 12 inches. Drop them in a bucket of water for about a half hour. Get your wood fired grill going. Thread you meat and veggies on the rosemary skewers and plzce on the grill. Much better than bamboo or metal skewers. The other benefit to rosemary in the ground, your dogs and cats will rub against it as they walk by. It is a natural flea repellant, and your pet smells great.

If you look for greenbriar tips, you can munch like he is doing on a good, crispy tasty veggie for free. In the SETX big thicket environment sometimes I can find them that really are like small asparagus. The inside a thistle plant stalk is better than celery. My livestock likes them a lot. Chokecherry makes good berries but you have to process the juice to drink it. Poke is another great weed, that you have to get an oldtimer to show you how to use safely, but poke n egg is worth the trouble. I am not great at gardening so I forage what I have, and in nearby wild areas.

Hi James. I'm in Sylacauga, AL zone 7B. This year, I added a Lapins cherry, Stella cherry, North Star cherry, Yellow/gold plum, AU Rosa Plum, a lemon tree, Honeycrisp apple, and Fuji apple tree to my garden. I am experimenting with growing Wine Cap mushrooms in a straw pile in the shade of a Maple tree, I have radishes, kohlrabi, Arrow Peas, Oregon Giant snow peas, assorted lettuces, Imperator carrots, mustard, potatoes, chard, Red Beard bunching onions, garlic, Elephant Garlic, White Creole bulbing onions, Seascape Strawberries, Thyme, Oregano, mint, and Spearmint growing. I have seedlings coming up for catnip, yarrow, chicory, peppermint, and parsley. This morning, I transplanted the first of my warm weather crops into my raised beds and GreenStalk Towers, peppers and tomatoes. Tomorrow I'll finish with the transplants, zucchini, crookneck squash, lemon squash, basil, ground cherries, cucumbers, Hearts of Gold cantaloupe, and Sugar Baby watermelon. I'll also sow seeds for pole beans, dill, cilantro, marjoram, more carrots, and parsnips. I have a pretty big garden with 14 raised beds, a small orchard, an in ground herb garden, 3 GreenStalk towers, 18 ten gallon growbags, and a few assorted pots (for mint and a lemon tree). I enjoy watching you and Tuck tend your garden, and reap the rewards.

@@jodibraun6383 I harvest the dark green leaves early, before the flower stocks appear. I tie the leafy stems into small bouquets and hang them upside down in the kitchen to let them dry. I have also tried drying just the leaves in my dehydrator on the lowest setting. Both work equally well. I store the whole leaves in an empty large plastic containers from yogurt. Storing them in an opaque container helps to keep their dark green colour. I crush them in the palm of my hand, by rubbing them with my finger just before dropping them into the food. Lovage gives a lovely taste to soups and stews. I got a small root of this wonderful herb from my cousin. Originally, I planted it in a very sunny spot, beside a link fence. My neighbour didn't like it when some of the leafy stems managed to grow through the fence to his side. To keep peace, I dug it out late in the fall, while the ground was not frozen yet and transplanted it in a spot next to my garbage carts where it gets only about 6 hours of the afternoon sun. It is happy in its new spot. I have had it for nearly 20 years. I do fertilize it in the spring with all purpose fertilizer. It does not attract any pests. I hope that you will enjoy yours as much as I do.

Thanks for all the lovage info! Celery is one of my favorite flavors for soups and I’m excited to get some of that flavor without the work of the long growing season to get celery plants going

Your video got me so excited. When I lived in California, I had three raised bed garden and 9 fruit trees. Now I’m retired and moved to North Carolina. I’m getting old and don’t have energy to keep a garden anymore.

My house when I was a kid had a relatively normal backyard and then one day we put a SINGLE sprig of mint in a flower bed. before we knew it the mint killed all of the ornamental plants in the flower beds by outcompeting them, even spreading into the lawn. I had never seen anything like that. but then a bunch of blackberries from the next property over came from under the fence and eventually choked out the mint. I didn't think anything could beat mint but apparently the only thing that can is a gigantic overgrown bramble

James, 2 things….. 1, I have tons of strawberry plants. They get tons of flowers, but never make an actual strawberry!! Why?!?! 2. You should grow hops. The young hops are as good as asparagus and they come back every year. Plus you can brew beer or make tea with the hops.

@susie9893 Ай бұрын

Also good for summer shade if trellised, and supposed to be great for chickens. I've read recommendations of growing them over the chicken coop - great idea imo
