I drained another jar of 4 thieves vinegar. It lasts a year in the fridge, so if I have the ingredients I'm making another jar during this hot, hot summer. It's a blessing to have during winter when sickness runs rampant, and with one still in school, germs are a plenty.
Un-burying the herb has started. I'm about to mow down the carrots though.
Upon pulling the tall weeds in the end of the herb garden, I noticed my green onions were killed off for the first time in all the years I had them.
I have about 4-5 left, so this was a sad moment. That end used to be packed with so many green onions, I'd have to pull some bulbs every two years. The parsley is dry as a bone and the dirt is like concrete there too.
Spent yesterday morning in the potatoes, and more to weed. They look terrible. It's very iffy at this point if we'll get much of anything. The potatoes will most likely have a post of their own soon. What a mess.
We seriously lack rain. The grass is bone dry, and even the plantain is starting to die off. However, we are hearing that the rain is returning possibly late tomorrow and all through the weekend. My goal is to weed out all the potatoes before it arrives, and hope for the best.
Yesterday, I was down right exhausted, so I made a cup of hot tea using part gingko and part nettle, to restore my energy. It worked too. I could actually breath better too.

Have been to the VAMC-Durham several times, and they're getting my health straight. Good to have tolerable-to-no pain for the first time in months. Praise and Thank God!!!
Have you ever heard of "opium lettuce"? It grows abundantly in yards. does NOT contain opium and isn't habit forming, but is a natural pain reliever that is said to be quite effective. It can be harvested in July and August. Can be used in salads or with other greens, or can be cooked down to a tincture. It's all online. I found some in my yard, and have been taking a small bite every now and then thru the day. A bit bitter, but not intolerably so. It'll probably take a few days before I know if it's doing anything. Very interesting!!!
Prayers you get the rain you need, in beneficial amounts, not wrath of God stuff.
God bless.
