Mugwort

It is the perfect weather today! No major winds, humidity or clouds. Just gorgeous sunshiny blue skies! I have been outside trying to weed, move plants, replant etc. around our yard. We ...»
use our herb beds here at home for recipe developing, testing, personal use and just to try different herbs that we are not familiar with

. About 4 years ago we planted Mugwort. And let's just say I have been trying to eliminate since then! LOL This herb makes mint look docile and non-aggressive! It has a very pretty varigated leaf. But, once you plant it, it will take over! And replant itself everywhere! It also grows pretty tall and bushes out. So, if you ever decided to grow Mugwort, know that you can hack away at and it just comes back.

Mugwort was used in cooking to add a bitter taste to fats and meats. Before hops came along, it was used to make beer. It was a big medicial herb in Asian medicine. It produces a toxic oil when concentrated and used in large quanities over a prologed time. Pregnant women want to avoid it. And quite frankly, I am trying to avoid it by getting rid of it because Mugwort pollen is one of the main sources of hay fever and allergic asthma in the USA.

So, today I have been really working at pulling it all out. I will have to stay on top of this plant areas because new little sprouts seem to come from no where quickly!

For more info on this herb, check out Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mugwort

  • Trench planted tomato plants with slow watering upcycled milk jugs.

Trench Planting Tomatoes

This is the first year that I'm planting my tomatoes in a trench rather than vertically. I have read that this method will allow the root system have more area to grow. I also upcycled a few milk jugs as a way to get the water to the roots without having to go through the soil. The milk jugs were cleaned and have small holes poked through to let the water go directly to the roots. These tomato plants are two Early Girls and a Celebrity. I can't wait to see what they yield! I also ...»
planted a little basil around them because basil makes the tomatoes taste better.
