I am currently interested in container veggie gardening, fruit trees, creating a tea & herb garden, and maintaining my daughters flower cutting garden. Everything else is just an experiment.

Not much this weekend. Sprayed weed with white vinegar as a replacement for using roundup. I will report back as to how it goes as compared to normal weed killer. I am still moving lots of leaves from 5 live oak trees that fall in and around me. I clean up one bed and the next day I have to remove more leaves. |
 |

Can you dry Cilantro...I have a bunch right now! |
|
I have only heard of people using cilantro fresh. I would imagine that you could dry it like you would parsley. Not sure of the outcome though. |
