I finally made it to the store to get vodka to make a mullein tincture.
I used fresh mullein. I've read that you do not want to cut more than 40% of your plant, but I am typically careful not to over harvest mine.

Garden Goodies ~ Garage Purge
I planted a few new varieties of radishes this year. I still planted Cherry Belle for canning radish relish. It is delicious on burgers or what not. I will be canning it in the smallest jars this year. We can't seem to eat it up when we open the half-pint jars I canned it in. Either that, or I need to be more creative. Maybe try mixing some into peas? Or green beans? I guess well see when we get them on the plants soon.
These are French Breakfast Radishes. I purchased non-gmo/organic seeds from High Mowing for these. Hubby and I will be tasting the two that I was able to pick. Due to the second frost we had, we planted later than usual.
Has anyone planted the black radishes? I have been reading up on them and I find them intriguing.
