Took Sunday off and processed some of the garden. I Made bread and butter pickles and pasta sauce. I love to spend the day processing and cooking. But given my skill level I am really happy it’s not essential for survival.

Sunday off to harvest
Took Sunday off and processed some of the garden. I Made bread and butter pickles and pasta sauce. I love to spend the day processing and cooking. But given my skill level I am really happy it’s not essential for survival.
Today I cleaned and top dressed my garden boxes. The herb box had a bunch of early oregano and sage. The sage had just started to flower so I am a little late. I picked a bunch to dry. Last year I made a solar dehydrator it’s biggest benefit has been hang drying herbs. Saves tons of time! If you saw my dehydrator last year I added a black corrugated plate to increase the temperature. Others than that it stayed the same. It still needs a sunny day to get the job done, but it works faster now.
Spring garden stuff

Got tied up for a week, and now I have an overgrown garden with powdery mildew. Not horrible but what do you do for powdery mildew?
