Benefits of Echinacea     (Gardening)
submitted by Her0n to Gardening 8 months ago (+33/-0)
49 comments last comment...
TL,DR; I used echinacea root tea to rapidly relieve the symptoms of an URI that has afflicted my family.

One benefit is the effect the root tea has on our upper respiratory system.

My family is sick with some random head cold, I chose to suffer through it since it didn't stop from getting my work done. No fever for me but I've been blowing out "grellow" mucus for a few days.

My three month old and almost two year old have fevers to accompany their sickness. They got to drink some echinacea root tea mixed with their breastmilk and cow milk respectively. Within the hour they both had fevers lower a few degrees and no more fussing. The mucus broke free and after one round of booger-sucking and nose blowing there's no more stuffiness.

If I followed a pediatricians advice, the youngest wouldn't be able to have anything unless we wanted to risk using ibuprofen, which doesn't really help the situation at all. The toddler would have been able to take motrin, which would help with the fever, but nothing else.

I'm glad I chose the echinacea, it's doing so well with helping the boys feel better. I still felt like crap, so I drank the leftovers with my wife. No more headache after 5-10 minutes and my nose is clear.

The plants are gorgeous as well. Mine all have red/orange flowers. I didn't want to harvest them, but the tea was why I planted them to begin.

I suggest this to others if they are so inclined, it worked better than anything I've ever taken, doesn't make me feel like shit either, like cold meds have in the past.

Compost contamination and disease management      (Gardening)
submitted by SUV_dindu_nuffin to Gardening 9 months ago (+8/-0)

So I’m having a little trouble wrapping my head around what I should be doing with blighted plant material, rotting/ infected fruits and veggies.

Part of me really wants to cut it all out and like burn it, so that the fungus and disease is destroyed and then really only compost stuff that’s “healthy”.

One farmer I worked for never put vegetable compost back into his fields. It was used to fertilize another field where commercial corn was grown. The vegetable fields only had synthetic or manure on them. But doing some gardening now… it’s not like I have another field. I’ve gotten in the habit of throwing stuff on the lawn, where the grass doesn’t care or the mower just chips it up. Kinda gross but at least it’s not going into my compost. I plow the normal compost back into the garden in the spring.

Should I be worrying about this so much? What other solutions am I not thinking of?

Do you guys keep compost separated by plant type, kind of like compost crop rotation?

It is war now you fuzzy tailed nigger rats. I was holding off on pulling my first cantaloupe, hoping it could ripen on the vine, and those fuzzy tailed niggers just stole it.     (Gardening)

I'm a bit squashed out     (Gardening)
submitted by ParnellsUprising to Gardening 10 months ago (+9/-0)

I've sauteed it, stuffed it, baked it, fried it, boiled it, and even given a shitload to neighbors that are even now avoiding me.

About the only thing I haven't done is pickled it, which as much as I used to like squash, I don't see myself having an appetite for this veg in the next 9-12 months.

Time for the fucking squash to go. Not to mention, I think I have enough spaghetti squash if I do have an inkling for fucking more squash.

Tomatoes, not so much, too much rain so I couldn't give the plants a nice fertilized lime bath until too late, although it is showing promise now .

Starting to get a crop now, but I believe it is going to be poor showing this year. Just in time for the hornworms to make their presence known.

Even planted some watermelon this year in the back, hoping someone would try and steal that shit. We shall see if the trap works.

I really used to like their posts. So what have you nigger kike faggots planted this year?

I got the usual roma tomatoes,
bell peppers, and herbs:
cilantro
basil
rosemary
oregano
dill
thyme
chives
sage

I have seedlings for
Green peas
Snap Peas
Beets
Spinach
Arugula
Spaghetti Squash


Looking to add a few more "crops", but I am dealing with raised beds / containers due to the fucking amount of deer and other pestilent creatures that are around the area.

Never saw a rabbit in my yard, add another bed, and see that wiley little "bugs bunny" doing a circle around the yard. Little cock sucker.

The squirrels actually started attacking a planter in my front yard, before I even planted. Just digging dirt, throwing it all over the porch.

I put some spearmint and peppermint in where they were coming up, but fuck, do I need to get a silenced .22. I don't think I want to go through the process of the NFA bullshit, but it might be time for squirrel stew.

Fuck it, I might just be harvesting critters this year, I guess we shall see.

Your time is...extended.
Not the toil
not the burn
not the hunger
nor the yearn.

You may rest forever... now.
But your life's energy
Paid forward
It burns on man.

Decades of customers yards full
Spring here again this year
Buds bursting forth
YOUR HEART STILL BEATS ON MAN.
Oxygen, shelter, shade, beauty, food.

Babies will have babies that will sit in cool shade and clean air
They will grow and learn and love in, and what, you have left.
Others will pick up what you started and carry on.
You deserve heaven for this and I thank you.

We moved to our own place last October 30th.
Our lot is about 900 mts2 and I have been working the land in my spare time. Good thing is that working from home is a big benefit because I am able to just take a little walk through our yard and see how everything is going.

So far we have planted:

- cherry tomatoes
- tomatoes
- squash
- zucchini
- potatoes
- onions
- avocado
- arracache
- melon
- water melon
- orange lemon
- cas guava
- mango
- tangerine
- orange
- spinach
- blackberry
- coriander
- lettuce
- chamomile
- chive
- banana
- sweet corn
- sweet pepper
- hot pepper
- carrots
- papaya
- celery
- Italian parsley
- mint
- thyme
- aloe vera

We are still missing the coffee trees and other plants, but all in due time. Hopefully in a couple of months/years we will see everything fructify in the Lord's name.

[Oops! 2022/2023]

Executive Summary

Overall a dismal result but what's new? No standout successes except for the 1 of 3 cucumbers which grew to a supermarket size.

Grapes (poor crop)

https://i.ibb.co/cgSN4bx/AR-8.jpg

Passion Fruit (biggest crop ever but a mould got them - file photo)

https://i.ibb.co/5FrY5QJ/Gab.jpg

Button Squash/Zucchini (lovely flowers no fruit)

https://i.ibb.co/k6Vb4SB/AR-6.jpg

Cucumber (only success story by size not quantity (2-3))

https://i.ibb.co/jy7HBHn/AR-5.jpg

Purple King Climbing Beans (very average result which is unusual)

https://i.ibb.co/HXSGkKx/AR-1.jpg

Tomatoes (small) (these little babes are self-seeded and good value)

https://i.ibb.co/3mfGS05/AR-2.jpg

Potatoes (disaster because they weren't in the sun. Lots of leaf but no tubers)

https://i.ibb.co/wBySnN7/AR-7.jpg

Miscellaneous

Handful of shallots/spring onions. Missus did well with her "girl plants" (Herbs/erbs - basil etc).

Conclusion

Next season: concentrating on growing potatoes in pots (and in the sun!); cucumbers in pots.

310 small to minuscule potatoes.

All in all a disaster. But it was an experiment and I've got seed potatoes for the next crop. I've found potatoes don't like the shade or heavy wet soil. Her Hitler has ceded some of her sunny veggie patch to me and I'm now going to grow spuds in pots with very friable soil and in the sun.

The variety that seemed to do best is "Salad Rose".

The rest:

If Mr Putin is intent on declaring WW3 I ask him to hold off until I get better at growing spuds.
