Another awesome informative show Thanks Kim
I just cut my Rosemary all the way to the ground I hope i didnt damage it
Just built a hydroponic setup in my basement for year round strawberries and it's doing great! Fascinating and fun!
I'm doing 2 varieties (Day Neutral) 12- Seascapes and 12- Albions.. 🤤
Daillas!
Love Rosemary potatoes with roasted chicken! Thank you for another great video.
I love pineapple mint in lemonade!!!❤
Great topic Kim! 👍🌻
Can any of these survive in containers over the winter in zone 6?
Oh my goodness. I'm just going to jump in whole hearted and try these. I've got strawberries in a Greenstalk. They are just taking it over with runners. Maybe they will be perennial for me!
I'm growing strawberry mint. The strawberry smell is pretty strong, we love it.
Hi Kim.
I have rosemary, catnip, spearmint, peppermint, oregano, chicory, and parsley (biannual) growing in my herb garden. My strawberry plants and pepper plants are still producing. Seeds have sprouted for Columbine, English Daises, parsnips, carrots, turnips, beets, cauliflower, broccoli, Pak Choi, Komatsuna, Tatsoi, Yellow Heart Winter Choy, and Nappa Cabbage. The transplants for red cabbage, Dutch Cabbage, and Rainbow Swiss Chard are doing well, but I’m not.
Though gravely wounded, I am still tending my garden daily, and the chickens too. Sometime Labor Day weekend I was snake bit, and in my own backyard. My legs are numb, so I didn’t feel the bite. It is a diabetic neuropathies thing. My leg turned red with a little black, burned, and there was muscle pain. I thought it was an allergic reaction, except the only thing I am allergic to are opioids.
When it blistered up, I thought maybe a spider bite. But what spider in Alabama would cause such an affect? Not a Brown Recluse. The blister was the size of a jumbo chicken egg. It started leaking goo. Whatever I was injected with was a hemotoxin. Time to see the doctor.
I saw the doctor last Tuesday with an urgent walk-in appointment. The triage nurse saw the wound, and agreed it was urgent. She poked and prodded the wound. It was painful, and burning to the touch, but I did not have a temperature, just my leg.
The doctor took one look at the wound, and affirmed, a hemotoxin, but not spider—snake. Rattlesnake to be exact. I don’t know if it was a Timber Rattlesnake, Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake, or Pigmy Rattlesnake. At this point I was well beyond antivenom, so identifying the exact species isn’t necessary. Most hospitals don’t keep antivenom on hand, and treat alternatively with Heparin, Vitamin K, and antibiotics. Had I known that was what bit me, I would have seen him ten days earlier. Since Tuesday, I’ve been taking mega-doses of horse-pill sized antibiotics. I think the cure is as bad as the bite.
I probably should have taken pictures of the wound when it was at its ugliest, but didn’t think of it until Wednesday. It is still ugly, and hurts like hell, but is improving. https://www.facebook.com/jay.toney.56
Thanks CaliKim! I love this all inclusive video! I have so many of these planted but have forgotten about them. I needed this reminder before the cold weather sinks in. 😊
