I wasn’t planning on stopping.
This time of year are just the most busy of the year. We garden year round, so from March to June, we are transitioning the garden from the cold season, past the warm season, to the hot season. It means that in a very short time, I have to grow and preserve my spring crops. If things hasn’t established by July 1st, they are not going to make it, as we get 100+ degrees from July through September.
We do put up shade, but some plants (especially herbs) just doesn’t like it that hot.
I grow, harvest and dehydrate about 30’ish different herbs and spices. 14 of them are either culinary herbs,
medicinal or a combination. They are a lot cheaper to grow than buy, so I grow a lot, plus some we like to use raw for tea. So far this looks like a good year for my herbs. I have almost a quart of dried chamomile which are great, since I usually don’t get that much. The quality of the herbs are so much better when we grow our own.
Anyway,
enough about that, it looks like I went a little off topic.
