Good! I have no clue what it can be used for in the US, but my mom always made tea with it for everything. From stomach pain, unable to sleep or maybe she just liked to put grasses on boiling water,lol
Today I did nothing. Raining again and had to take hub to medical appointment. Stopped at HD and bought some fencing panels and posts and also got some plastic lattice panels to make a bitty fence around the girls house (coop). Want to plant some mint,lavender,and basil to help with any smell even though I clean their coop every day. It will also help repell bugs as well. I only put cinnamon around for bugs but want to keep them safe from flies and bees. Will be sunny tomorrow, so will let you know what damage I get to do,lol

Camomile is good for relaxation.
I like a 50/50 blend of camomile and lavender. It's just nice to drink. They even sell a bulk blend at the low cost food store here.

I think it's about time to pull and process the beets.

Watered, watered, watered. Need to pick okra again tonight. Looks like the black-eyes and red rippers are thinking about blooming. I kinda wish they'd get on with it, lol.
Tomorrow's plan - water, water, water...sigh.

Remembering those crazy trench planted tomatoes with very long stems, little roots and leaves. They are working hard at making 50 foot tomato walls between the t-post and bailing twine. Lots of little green tomatoes and flowers.
My wife better not be allergic to tomatoes this year. She wanted 4 rows, but some local deer helped her out by eating some of them out of the seed tray while I was hardening them off outside.

We had rain...just in time, just enough. 
. Glad I had roughed up around squash, beans, eggplant yesterday! It will soak in, not run off. Possible more rain tonight. .
Didn't feel like garden work after 10 hr work plus chores at both ends!

Gardening is a lot of work but can also be very rewarding and deliciousWe had rain...just in time, just enough.

Shame there isn't a way to preserve beet greens I like them cut and mixed up in salad, I just found out that cattle like beet greens also

I had frost this morning. Fortunately it only did a little leaf damage on 3 of the pepper plants.
