New Herb - Row 6 finished crop Sept 2025.jpg

On Wednesday morning I got up and got my post up. I wasn’t feeling so good but I finally got out to the New Herb garden by 8:30AM. I got the south side of Row 6 mulched and then moved to the north side.

Much of Row 7 had been done on its south side, so I was mulching both rows as I went. I had to plant 2 small beds and 1 large bed in Row 7 before I could mulch further.

They needed salad burnet and lupines but both had died. So one small bed got English wallflowers and the other got marigolds and begonias.

But I just didn’t have enough energy to plant the large bed of chamomile so I just finished the mulching on Row 6 and got cleaned up, photos taken, and notes made. It was 11:30AM.

So I figure I had 2 more days in the New Herb garden to finish it. I have to plant and mulch Row 7. I have 3 walkways to rake out. And the rest of the garden needs weeding again.

I was so tired, I went and lay on the couch for an hour or so. But eventually I ended up in bed until 4:30PM.

I spent the rest of the evening watching Big Bang Theory until bedtime at 8PM.

On Thursday I have to harvest tomatoes, peppers and onions. My helper friend is on vacation this week and I have a substitute coming at noon. I plan to make and can spaghetti sauce for Tom’s family. I hope the substitute is a good worker and knows something about cooking…

I also have to clean up the kitchen disaster before they arrive and I should finish the laundry. I also have 13 dehydrator trays to wash before they get here. So another busy day.
