Certainly! I'll reword and expand on each plant in your garden:
Apple Mint and Peppermint:
These aromatic herbs are a delight in any garden. Apple mint offers a fruity twist on the classic mint flavor, perfect for teas and cocktails. Peppermint, with its intense cooling sensation, is not only a culinary staple but also known for its potential digestive benefits.
Purple and Orange Sweet Potatoes:
These colorful tubers bring both beauty and nutrition to the garden. Purple sweet potatoes are rich in anthocyanins, offering potential antioxidant benefits, while orange varieties are packed with beta-carotene. Both types can be used in a variety of dishes, from savory roasts to sweet pies.
Cranberry Hibiscus:
This striking plant adds a pop of color with its deep red leaves. The tart, edible leaves can be used in salads or brewed into a refreshing tea. It's also known for its ornamental value, attracting pollinators to the garden.
Variegated Oregano and Sage:
These herbs not only provide flavor to dishes but also add visual interest with their variegated leaves. Oregano offers a pungent, slightly bitter taste perfect for Mediterranean cuisine, while sage's earthy flavor complements poultry and stuffings beautifully. Both herbs are also known for their potential medicinal properties.
Elderberry:
This versatile shrub produces clusters of small, dark berries rich in antioxidants. Elderberries can be used to make jams, syrups, and wines. The plant's flowers are also edible and can be used to make cordials or fritters.
Lavender:
This fragrant herb is a feast for the senses with its purple flowers and calming aroma. Lavender can be used in cooking, particularly in desserts, and is popular in aromatherapy for its relaxing properties. It's also a great attractor of beneficial insects to the garden.
Grapes:
Grapevines add a touch of Mediterranean charm to any garden. Whether you grow them for fresh eating, winemaking, or simply for their lush foliage, grapes are a rewarding crop. They come in various colors and flavors, each offering its own unique profile of antioxidants.
Blackberries:
These thorny shrubs yield juicy, dark berries packed with flavor and nutrients. Blackberries are versatile in the kitchen, great for jams, pies, or eating fresh off the bush. They're also known for their high antioxidant content and potential health benefits.
Garden Lettuce:
A staple of any vegetable garden, lettuce provides fresh greens for salads and sandwiches. With varieties ranging from crisp romaine to tender butter lettuce, you can enjoy a diverse mix of textures and flavors. Lettuce is also a quick-growing crop, allowing for multiple harvests throughout the season.

Everything is looking good! I think it’s smart to just let the plants sort things out amongst themselves. That’s how it was done before humans arrived and started “improving” things 😂
Besides it’s too cute to hear the little “greenies” yelling “dibs” as they figure out who wants to be where, in your yard! 😂😂😂
Exactly! That’s what I wanna get back to you. I feel like there’s something to be appreciated about the older times where we just grew crops and harvested the seeds and then grew better crops with each of those crops adapting to the circumstance that we lived in. Appreciate you stopping by as always. I hope your week has been absolutely wonderful.
My silliness aside, about your plants yelling “dibs” 😂 that got me thinking about the studies that have been done on plant communication. They do communicate and actually “send help” to each other through their roots. Trees do it too. I’ve always talked to my plants, so I wasn’t surprised when a study showed the difference between two plants in the exact same environment, but one was “verbally abused”, and that one did very poorly 😢. A study of snowflakes forming showed the same thing. The snowflakes that formed while a “happy” loop tape played were all perfectly patterned and the ones that were formed while a “mean” loop tape played were all misshapen 😢. I just had to throw this in 😊. This might be an interesting thought to include in your videos 🤔 😁😁😁
@@murialpack5350 how interesting! I must look into this! Thank you for the inclusion of this information in our conversation!
If anyone disrespects your style,they aren't really gardeners 😮😮
You said it, Tom! Thanks for your support as always as I hope your week has been swell. 😊
