It is really lovely, Shawn!

Nice layout.

[Sher]

Such beautiful form and spacing!

I got up on the step ladder as I needed to trim the basil and chives.  While up there I moved the chives and cilantro around so they all have more breathing room. 

Later I want to trim a piece of the Confetti Cilantro and taste it.  I will get a close up pic of it if I can.

I pruned the tops and bushiness of the basil, oregano, thyme, chives and cilantro.  Pleased it all in the freezer.  I need to make some Salsa soon.

I also gave Nutes and Mooch.

What is Mooch, if I may ask?

Mr Mucha stash. It's a calcium supplement we use in tomatoes and or peppers. Check out the nutrients and supplement board. I'm on my phone or I would post the link for you

Thanks Shawn, I found the discussion. Mr. Mucha Stash is no longer available on Amazon, unfortunately. I ordered some Cal-Mag Plus, which has mostly good reviews. We'll see whether it reduces the leaf curl on my peppers. 🙂

Here are my herbs.  I have trimmed several times and some still need trimming.

Thank you.  They would be cleaner if I were able to care for them the way I should.  My peppers are a mess.  One of the reason no pics.  But I need to update that thread nad post a pic or two.

Your garden looks like an ad.

Yes!!!!  That's it!!!  Perfect, like a prop or staged scene!

Yesterday I did some cleaning of the AG's.  Not only were the decks cleaned and wiped I also ended the Garlic Chives.  I have a ton here in the freezer and really do not need more at the moment.  I will grow these again when needed.  I also harvested the regular Cilantro.  I will be using some and I froze the rest until I need it.

Other then that I trimmed down the basil and oreganos.  I MUST do the Thyme, it is a monster.  The only thing holding me back is my fingers.  The arthritis makes it harder to pluck the leaves.  I do have a little thingamajig that is supposed to help with that but thyme stems are so delicate it does not work.  I will get to this week I hope.

All are ending today and tomorrow.  I want to get the unit all cleaned up and start anew.

Today I removed the Confetti Cilantro and Chives so far.  All have been harvested and frozen.

[campingcorgis]

Oooo...can't wait to hear all about the new one!

[Shawn]

I have been so busy.  But the Farm Basic is all cleaned and sanitized.
