It is midsummer, and my garden is definitely in need of a refresh. The heat and humidity have taken their toll on the spring plantings, and I spent the morning guerilla gardening. I pulled weeds—a ton of weeds—and cut back overgrown plants. I harvested at least 70 pounds of pumpkins that were ripe on the vine. By Noon, I had to come into the cottage to cool down, and the pups gladly joined me for a nap in front of the fan. Later on this evening, I will go back outside with a refreshing beverage, and I’ll spray the garden down with a refreshing garden beverage—Authentic Haven Brand Moo Poo Tea.
Moo Poo Tea is produced on a beautiful organic ranch in California that belongs to my friend, Annie Haven. Her family has been caring for the land for generations. I love this product because I know it’s totally organic and of the highest quality. I also love the way Annie packages it, in pretty muslin tea bags that are just the right size to brew up a perfectly balanced compost tea of anywhere from one to five gallons. I brew mine directly in my sprayer, so making it and applying it couldn’t be more simple. I swear the garden perks up almost immediately when I apply the tea.

My garden is finished for the summer. The rain from TS debby, the heat and humidity it has done me in just until Fall.
Cheers.

Velva – the heat and humidity has done me in, too. At least for a few weeks. But then I’ll be planting for fall!
Carolyn, I too, have ripe pumpkins already- how are you going to keep them until October + November? On newspapers in the basement? On cement in the garage? etc. thanks, geri
Hi Geri,
My pumpkins are actually Seminole squash. They are excellent keepers, and I had no problem just storing them on a shelf in a cool, dark area for most of the winter last year. I do give them a good wash with a very light bleach solution (just a splash to a gallon of water) to help prevent any fungal or bacterial growth.
This is a great informative site! Love it!
I’m glad you’re enjoying it, Michele. Thanks for visiting!
Thank you Carolyn I’m honored to be a part of your growing routine naturally!
