Garden struggles

Well this is frustrating, we have fungus on our tomatoes due to the extreme humidity and rains, bugs are devouring our kale and our one cucumber resembles a water balloon…

Thankfully we have now come to the end of three days of downpour and once again we can see the sun shining. This was by far the longest stretch of rain during my short stay in Georgia. Otherwise it has been sunny, sunny, sunny and humid, humid, HUMID! So humid that when I hang dry clothes in the direct morning sunshine, they are still damp as the day comes to its end. Not to even mention problems with mold, arghhh…

This requires ingenuity 🙂 So I wouldn’t mind getting some ideas especially for the gardening problems!!!

Lemon verbena, basil, rosemary, oregano are doing amazing, as well as lettuces and jalopeno. So not all hope is lost 🙂

Harvesting, happy happy happy :)

Here goes my first try on drying herbs….

Herb leaves drying on a tray

Preserving rosemary leaves by freezing them in water in an icecube tray.

Once the cubes are frozen I will move them to a freezer safe ziplock bag to store in the freezer. From there I can use them in soups, drinks etc.
