My indoor growing space is bursting at the seams with mountain mint and some very leggy tomatoes I’m babysitting for a friend while she’s on vacation. The weather has been relatively pleasant though, so I’ve gotten a few more things potted and several more trays going now as well.

• Some grasses, elderberry, and Carolina allspice in pots with some hibiscus cuttings in the box

• Chokeberries, more elderberries, a few types of raspberries, and a few lowbush blueberries I’ve managed to keep alive after transplanting

• Even more chokeberries, and a whole other type of raspberry (these ones are red)

• Another round of brassicas started

• My worksite supervisor taking a break under a second type of mountain mint I’m growing this year

What’s growing on with you all?

    I ended up getting Honey Crisp and Baldwin, semi-dwarf rootstock. I’m a total newbie to pruning, but I’m leaning towards the “don’t try too hard, trees know how to be trees” school of thought, lol… open to any advice from more experienced people though!

    The violet tea was fun, I love the pH based color change from pouring in lemon juice! Planning to use it in cocktails next time, that would make a great party trick.

    :D Most of the garlic mustard ended up in the compost because I was lazy but I definitely want to make some more pesto in the future.
