RE: I Garden To Keep Myself Sane (and Hopefully Healthy) | HiveGarden Journal

in HiveGardenlast year

Love is always the answer! I have always wanted to grow certain things and always dictated nature, but recently I have been trying to just let things grow where they want to and whatever wants to. At least the edible things. Self sowing plants as well, like rocket and amaranth that just regrows every year.

I let dandelion come up in my raised beds wherever it wants to - it's so easy to harvest the roots from a raised bed! And so many surprises come up, I get to switch up my ways for them. Often, I find an herb I didn't know about that happens to be exactly what I need at the time. And it's all so very pretty! Not to all eyes, I'll bet my garden looks messy to many others, but to mine for sure.

Same here. I think the neighbours and people who see my garden must think I am going crazy. Every season new plants come up which becomes new opportunities to learn and gain knowledge.

Have you ever tried to make coffee substitute from dandelion root? Or what do you do with them?
