You know how I still like to share the ugly, or more difficult (more like frustrating) parts of homesteading? Just in case someone thinks it's all daffodils and tulips?
The last few nights I've noticed more of my newly sprouted medicinal herbs (in pots) have been disturbed. But how?
They are destroyed now. Not by barn cats either.

Random Tidbits ~ Lavender Antiseptic and Calming Spritzer
Like many of you, I am like a mad woman in the garden this week. Rain was of little chance, so I worked my bum off to get seeds in. We have a slight chance of rain on Sunday, so I am pacing it all out, not to wear myself out (which I already did and had to take a breather).
Thank goodness I made a recent double batch of homemade ginger-ale. It came in handy for some much needed recuperation. Plus, more kiddos (and myself) caught the bug Hubby had.
I've also delegated some garden planting to a few girls of ours. I haven't been happy with the results of their housekeeping help, so outside they go (unless one is still stick). We'll get daily planting done before it gets sweltering hot around 10:30am-11am.
