DonBrennons 'Unconventional' organic gardens

[DonBrennon]

SSDD F2 quality control reject seed, looked less mature than the rest, but broke ground 2 days after being pushed into the soil and really stretching for the light

 

[DonBrennon]

Achillea millefolium, commonly known as yarrow or common yarrow

tomatoes , peppers , cucumber , sprouts , cabbage , broccoli , sweet peas, marigolds and a solitary onion


cucumbers , nastertium, aloe vera and comfrey roots just breaking ground at the front

i find that aloe does better when not in direct light... it likes the side light for sure

Have you grown yarrow before? It requires a lot of copper, so If you notice it's looking not quite right, you may want to get a bit of copper sulfate or something similar on them.
I love this plant as much as Achilles did(who used it to treat his soldiers wounds).

yeah, got 3 containers with em' in as companions so far, they're well ahead of the local wild yarrow but i'd guess that's down to warmer soil. Didn't know about their hunger for copper tho, thanks for the heads-up
