Are your herbs struggling? You might be making one of these common mistakes!

Overwatering? Stop drowning those roots.
Not enough sunlight? Herbs love 6–8 hours a day.
Crowding plants? Give them space to breathe.
Skipping harvest? Trimming = more growth!

The other day when 🙋🏽‍♂️I messed up and forgot to tighten my battery latch, it fell down into the drive belt and frayed it. Totally my fault. Not the fault of BadBoy at all! Well, it didn’t take long for the belt to completely break. 🤦🏽‍♂️ I want to thank Greg from Tech Support! He is absolutely incredible! He knew everything about changing out that belt off the top of his head. He was able to rattle off all the parts that needed to be removed/loosened, what order to do it in and everything! He had my brain swirling trying to keep up! Hahahaha! I don’t know if y’all can recognize him, but he deserves it!

Anyway! I’m back up and running! Got the pasture and the front yard cut today!

I'm thrilled to share that Just Dig It Farms is now an affiliate partner with Tula Hats!

I bought my very first Tula hat back in the summer of 2009 while working at Petals from the Past garden nursery to shield my face from the sun. Since then, I’ve been a loyal fan! I love the variety of stylish designs that not only look great but also keep me protected during long days on the farm, in the garden, and at the beach.

Gene is a big fan too—he wears his Tula hat everyday that he is working on the farm.
We're so excited to team up with this fantastic USA company that I truly adore, and I’ll be rocking their hats for as long as they're around!

Plus, I’m happy to offer you a 10% discount when you use our special link and code! Trust me, it’ll be the best purchase you make, and you'll love it!

So many questions! 🫢

OKAY, I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS “SIGN OF THE TIMES.”
Come to think of it, I don’t think I want to know any answers.
UGH.
(I have been told some may heat urine in an effort to try to beat a drug test.)
