It's Day 105 of my garden's sabbath year. Time for an update. Many have asked what plants have volunteered so I will be giving you an update on that and harvesting some herbs along the way. Yeah I am ok to just mow the weeds at this point and let the garden have a true rest. I am telling myself it's good nitrogen to feed the soil and we will try to manage this using another method come fall.

I moved into a new house and the builders had landscaped with big herb plants in my font garden. I have a border with mint, rosemary and sage. It looks so pretty and I can cook with it too.

@DragonflyenAmber Жыл бұрын

I would get the mint into pots or it will take over and push all the other stuff out.

@@DragonflyenAmber it’s ok, been 5 years and the sage is taking over more than the mint.

Those leaves are a little big now, but when the poke first starts, harvest the young leaves and cook them like spinach. We wash them, boil then pour that off, then cook them like we do spinach with scrambled eggs.

I thought about you over the weekend, I live in Manitowoc WI, and it's been so dry here no rain at all we have only mowed our lawn 2 times since April. I was telling my husband that you picked a good year to do the sabbath rest for your garden since there is no rain. My husband at first thought you and I were both crazy and said it doesn't say anything like that in the Bible (he went to a parochial school, and I didn't) so I pulled out my Bible (which I've been studying in the Old Testament) and showed him where it stated that. He said I should continue to you watch you since I'm learning so much So thank you

While we aren't resting our raised garden beds, we've been amazed at the number of volunteers, this being our 8th year gardening. We went with the principle of three this season: herb, flower and veggie. It ended up being very beautiful with all the flowers and herbs inter-planted with the veggies. I'll definitely do it again, with a few changes to maximize space utilization.

Rachel, pokeweed is edible and the berries are medicinal! It's hard to find credible information on this long forgotten plant, and there is a lot of incorrect information out there, but I'll always let several grow in my garden. Plus, they're quite beautiful, IMO. The ripe berries can be frozen and swallowed (seeds are toxic, so don't chew. They'll go through your system without issue) with water like a pill, and used for aches and pain. I've used them and eaten the properly cooked leaves without any problem. Years ago they were sold as a canned green. God has given us so many sources of nutrition and natural medicine! I'm trying to learn this almost lost information.

Borage is great for a chop and drop fertilizer in the garden, like comfrey. You can also make a tea with the leaves and let it ferment for fertilizing the garden. Beware, though, green teas stink but are so good for the plants! I also dry the leaves and flowers for medicinal uses. I'm discovering I really enjoy growing herbs and medicinal plants far more than I do vegetables. Growing veggies here in Southern Arizona is a frustrating adventure because EVERYTHING eats what I plant. It was fun to see what you're growing, I like the walks around the garden.😊

Rachel, I saw a video where they peeled and sliced the horseradish, dehydrated it, then ground into a powder. I’m sure you can do the same thing with the freeze dryer. To reconstitute, they just added water and used it like the horseradish you buy in the refrigerator section of the store.

I finally got tired of the weed and grass pressure in my garden and put weed cloth over everything. If you watch Living Traditions Homestead they do that and I am so glad I did! I have just a few spots where the weeds come up at the corners of my raised beds and a few grasses I pull from under my tomatoes and that’s it! I will never look back. If you don’t like the look of the weed cloth, you can put wood chips over it in the pathways. I will remove it this fall when I put my garden to bed for the winter because I rotate where I plant every year and I will amend the soil then. It makes gardening so much more pleasurable.
