[quote:SilverPatriot:MV8zODgwNjExXzY5OTEwODM2XzJCRjREOEEz] [quote:Epic Beard Guy:MV8zODgwNjExXzY5OTAzMTMwX0UyOTNDMDQ3] I didn't really plant a garden this year, but I have Marshmallow coming up everywhere. It's all over the property, and some of it is 7 feet tall. I have harvested some and made marsh mallows with the root, and tea from the leaves. It turns out, the leaves are very good for your stomach, but are also a very powerful diuretic. If anyone is in western Nebraska or eastern Wyoming, and you want some I can hook you up. I probably will not harvest a lot of root, but I'll have plenty of leaves. I'm making a salve from the leaves mixed with plantain leaves. Both are good wound healers, and will stop itching. That just sounds like the greatest bug bite treatment ever.

Our first year trying Olla’s for watering plants and they work great we have to keep an eye on our summer squash or surprisingly fast, they can grow to a huge size.
By next week, we will be harvesting grapes from our vines, our potatoes are almost ready to harvest, and we have a great deal of potatoes ready for harvest this weekend.
We had a great crop of strawberries and still harvesting asparagus from our garden and have a nice supply of peppers, eggplant and tomatoes.
Wafting for our Sugar Baby watermelon to mature along with my okra thus will be canning and dehydrating our produce soon.
Our sugar snap peas have ended up being eaten while we pick them thus will need to plant more next year so some will end up on our table.
Just replanted more greens to be harvested in the fall along with the fennel I just planted, as fall approaches will grow greens in my greenhouse.
Low Maintenance Gardening! So Many Advantages to Watering with Olla Irrigation Pots.
