Migraine today which I started out with, but it wasn’t very painful until I spent some time outside in the sun and warmth of a June day. I overheat fast when I overheat and I am the only one that overheats in my family so early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got rid of a plant that was growing as a tree in the backyard. It’s not native, prickly and just lets be done with it. Space is nicer now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My son that did that work did a great job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s been helping me with my garden, which is nice. More work tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a ton of rosemary to harvest. Oft-time is stays alive overwinter. I have two plants, and they are HUGE now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have two beefsteak tomato plants. They came with two main growths. OK well, that’s it for them, no more allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have cucumbers with a range of garden twine for them to climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have one dill plant near the tomatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I need to plant more. I have herbs in a barrel planter near the deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are rabbits in our yard. Afraid of planting the wrong thing that they won’t let me grow to harvest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Chives and then other things should be planted there, but the Lemon Balm is encroaching from the other side. Fix that up tomorrow maybe.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Chives are perennial, I have onion chives and garlic chives. I should divide them some. They are going strong for some years now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My barrel herbs are Parsley, from last year, Italian Oregano, Sage, Sweet Basil, and Thai Basil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a Greek Oregano plant to put into another planter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Husband bought a red sweet pepper and yellow one too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love red peppers, but hate trying to grow them, plus growing them, two plants aren’t enough for what we eat and we don’t buy yellow anyhow. I just like red myself. Anyhow never have ever harvested red peppers anyhow, something mutates them or they get decimated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So besides the Rosemary needing desperate attention, my Lemon Balm needs harvested and cut down and pulled out of it’s encroaching. Then there is the mint that is everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Believe you me, I couldn’t grow mint for nothing. I tried and tried. Then bought a potted plant of it a few years ago. Everything stems from that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s everywhere. I don’t mind some of it around where I don’t want to plant something else, but it gets so leggy and harvesting it seems not doable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have some small pieces in a planter, hopefully that will take and flourish then I’ll rip most of the other mint out entirely that is in my garden spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Husband bought me plant food, but I can’t find it, someone moved it and doesn’t remember that they did. URG!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
