Happy Tuesday! I harvested the last three tatsoi plants this morning to pickle them.

And I'm aiming to finish making another round of comfrey salve. Fingers crossed that happens.

And maybe get another round of cucumber, bean, and carrot seeds in the ground.

What's on your agenda today?

After vomiting $340-odd between Costco and Aldi, my mission is to make this grocery haul last two weeks. It's a new game I'm playing. Last time, we made it 10 days before grocery shopping again. Stay tuned to find out if we make it.

This 25xwhat foot spot was supposed to be leveled out last year and wasn't.

And a year later, I got tired of looking at it and the pile of wood for the play structure that's supposed to be on it. So I took it upon myself to start digging up the dirt to get the process started.

Yesterday, my trusty shovel and I got to work on cloud free 74* afternoon, and it quickly got hot. I'm still nursing a back injury from a pretty gnary fall a few weeks ago, so this probably wasn't the best idea. I'm certainly feeling it today.

During the process, I came across a huge black widow. 😱

There's still a lot that needs to be done, but at least it's started, and everyone else is currently out there working on it.

What's the one vegetable you grow that saves you the most money? Ours is in the comments.

This pickled totsoi is such a great topping for so many dishes. Today, I added it to my chicken ceasar wrap.

Harvested some herbs that had gone a little crazy with all the rain.

Yarrow - great for fevers, stopping bleeding, and menstrual cramps

Plantain - aids in wound healing, drawing toxins, and digestive support

Catnip - not just for cats! Aids in digestion, calming, and can aid in sleep
