AI6YR BenLive posting the State Of The Garden. Fellow citizens, it is lemon/lime season. For some reason, there are more lemons in Southern California backyards than anyone eats. The only solution is to make lemonade! 1/x
The pineapple, as usual, is extremely confused by why it is growing in such a cold climate, and insists it be returned to Hawaii. Only one other pineapple top is currently also surviving this atrocity. #gardening
In the aquaculture buckets, the goldfish are happy to have lots of duckweed, finally, as temperatures are again warm enough for duckweed to expand. #StateOfTheGarden
For once, the barbarians at our gates -- the mint--no longer has smothered all other plants in the aquaponics beds. #StateOfTheGarden
The blood oranges I am growing for the squirrels look great! Too bad my chance of harvesting any is slim (grrrrr)
After a pause for dinner... oxalis. Lots of it. More than is advisable to eat! Out of control this year. #StateOfTheGarden
Lemongrass. Lots of it. It's good in Thai food. We mostly have it here because bees like it. Be warned, swarms may appear in your garden if you grow it! #StateOfTheGarden
My favorite plant this year. Volunteer stinging nettle! This one I have been pinching off the tops, and it has been branching out very nicely. Not sure how long it will last, but will try to keep it watered. #StateOfTheGarden
Cat West@ai6yr It makes an amazing tea… #medicinal
