There have been at least 4 new plants come into our area that I have never seen before. This is one of them.
The beds and infrastructure I am building this year is a part of the plan that I and Nature have co-operated in developing. I have a humongous catnip plant, it now looks like a shrub, which I learned from jj, at the PS Ning before I was suspended was good as a mosquito repellent. I live in the high desert, and we never have problems with mosquitoes. This is the first year we had them. Our weather here is becoming increasingly humid.
We also have a number of natural herbs that are volunteering that I am trying to learn more about.
I'll be harvesting the seed most likely this next week, and then pulling the sunflowers, some are wild, and some are the domesticated seed type. My plan is to feed the weeds to the goats, and pigs for fodder, then to gather the leftover stems, and put them in an old water tank to soak over the winter. Retting is what I think this is called. Then, early next year I will pound and pull the fiber to save for trying to learn how to spin, probably next fall. Since I will continue to be focused on setting up a garden increases the carrying capacity for food, fodder, and fiber in the space I have available.
My neighbor does have beautiful tomatoes this year, too. As well as squash.
