Garden post on my homestead blog - Garden Think: Revamping the Beds

The dandelion root dried very well in my wood cookstove oven. Tomorrow I'll grind it and put it in a jar.

Harvested mangels & pea vines to feed to the goats, along with stored sweet potatoes

Lunch: canned tomato soup & canned dill pickles
Dinner: spaghetti with home canned sauce. Sauce was made from last summer's Amish paste tomatoes and I think it's the best I've ever made.

Harvested my potted ginger. Not as much there as I'd hoped. Last year I made candied ginger; this year I'd like to try powdered. I'll grate it tomorrow and start drying it.
