How cool is this? Beetroot juice ‘boosts stamina’ Nitrates seem to be the key ingredient in beetroot Drinking beetroot juice boosts stamina and could help people exercise for up to 16% longer, a UK study suggests. A University of Exeter team found nitrate contained in the vegetable leads to a reduction in oxygen uptake – […]
It’s time for fall planting and I have laid out the plan. Of course, being sick for the past week has already put me behind, but planting is not all that labor intensive and it’s still possible to catch up. It’s pulling up all the old stuff and figuring out where to put everything that’s […]
I was able to stay in the garden until noon. This is the first time all week that I have been able to spend much time at all out there without bursting into flames. So what did I do? I pruned and tied up tomatos. Did you know that it’s not necessary to plant entirely […]
It’s almost ready! I have no idea what kind this is. I think I remember it being Clemson Spineless, but I bought it so long ago that I could be wrong. I bought a Burgundy Okra one time too, but I know that is not what it is. I save a pod every year and […]
And again, life goes on in spite of all the work I need to do in the garden. Luckily, no matter what I do or don’t do, nature will take over and do its thing. I’m just its most reliable tool. Now it’s too hot to do a lot of things that I wasn’t able […]
Wow! It has been a while since I posted. What with the tornado (debris was finally picked up this week), the 100+ degree heat in June, and a mini ‘stay-cation’ (since John was finally able to get a few days off) I haven’t been able to get much done here or in the garden. And […]
We have been eating meat free a lot this week. In spite of the tornado. we have been able to harvest a few wonderful veggies: tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, squash. Garden Fresh Spaghetti Squash OK, so the spaghetti squash I actually bought, but most everything else was from the garden. Ingredients: Spaghetti squash, tomatoes, peppers, yellow […]
Oh good grief! I just can’t catch up! I barely got anything done in May off my list of chores so most of it will have to carry over to June. I am, however, calling in extra troops – I’m going to have 1-2-Tree to limb up and thin all the trees. That will be […]
Sure, you can make your own concoction and it will be cheaper, but Howard Garret makes it so easy! Spraying with ‘Garrett Juice’ is one of the things I try to do regularly in my garden and the roses and veggies especially love it! It is an incredible folliar feed. I went for a couple […]
I have to admit that I used to belong to a food coop (back then it wasn’t even organic) and I found that the same things I was getting in the co-op were the same things I was getting by the bucket full out of my garden – so I stopped. But if I didn’t […]
