Last Notes npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Have you ever tried making your own garlic powder? npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae I'm glad for all of the happy plant surprises today, because also today our van got ripped into AGAIN 😖 https://image.nostr.build/ed73b1216000e030ab72a3c929675e22c033337cba5a9daaf75776c67753ebd3.jpg npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae This property continues to surprise me. Today we found feverfew, yucca (that feels out of place!), and a kiwi, a chestnut, and a persimmon tree. It's going to take me years to restore them all but I am game. https://image.nostr.build/b960ae4cdd921a412d790001c72f168b864cfd4cbe00423b9a5f05a07638d2c0.jpg npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae I've had a blessed abundance in the first year garden via these galvanized tubs, despite a bit of deer browsing. Now it's time for me to do some final harvesting and thinning once deciding what to keep and overwinter. It's also time to get cover crops into most of these tubs. Next year I plan to reduce the amount of vegetables and increase medicinal plants for drying and tincturing, as I have good local sources for veg but not for medicinal herbs. Potentially this could be a decent side hustle for me. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae we put our poultry upside down in a widened cone, head sticking out. They are calm and constrained. Use a sharp knife across the neck and it will bleed out hanging there. Basically. I'm sure there's a YT tutorial for visual help. Also ask your local farmer where you can find poultry meat to buy; most I know are very friendly and some are even willing to teach in person. Good luck. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae wood chips npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Watering my first finished Johnson-Su bioreactor compost. I could've gone another 6" but I ran out of material. That won't be an issue next time, and I've got the second one set up and ready to go. Now I gotta find me some worms to add once the heating cycle is done. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae On overcoming bad tasting herbal medicine. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae This sounds like exactly what I'd like to learn more about (I'm not too techy so please make it easy!) npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Q: so Strike is an "exchange"...is Exodus (which I opened a while ago) my "wallet" to safely store BTC longer term? (thank you again for answering Q's!) npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Well, I tried to figure out where to zap you (I'm on Damus) but only saw it on your profile so I did, but I have zero idea how much it was so I'm sorry if it was a lame amount and you're welcome if it was everything I had 😂 npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Hey, I know that person!! 😂😁 npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Good morning. Take some time to watch the clouds today, you don't *have* to race through your life like a Looney Tunes tazmanian devil. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Did you know that sticky Grindelia makes a nice honey for wet winter coughs? It grows along our beaches. I cut the flowers and put them in a jar, and then top with honey for a few weeks before straining. I learned this from a herbalist up on Lopez Island when I was there over a decade ago learning how to harvest seaweed. I've had so many good teachers over the years, grateful. https://image.nostr.build/dc73be2982aeae584b19f44737913b83802b4a79af774d65f8b72a265265741e.jpg npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae It took a couple years, but I finally got my first passionflower bloom. https://image.nostr.build/f51daf9419115fc4557a1519730b6e7ae0577e1da71184e0e0a154625a7229ee.jpg npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Making progress on a large art piece. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Well, we had a good and loud dumping rain last night and this morning as I woke up I remembered all of my garlic, curing underneath one of the big cedar trees 😳 npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Haha let's try that Good Morning again! 😎 https://image.nostr.build/cf5aa41cac9aa8db2b99df314e9b56b69762568a0a847c4deca212b034c0235e.jpg npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae yes! I'm looking forward to next year with wayyy better soil. It's amazing how much of a difference the quality of the soil makes. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae And just to keep me humble, *all* this from one of my potato bags. I definitely got them out too early. One of my bags was a total dud. Three more to go, here's hoping. https://image.nostr.build/d26aa02cb95794ecef6905fbab1d509b9310e2102cc4690912cb00a96bb483df.jpg npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Crazy good garden this year and so very thankful. But I seem to have a glut on the veg side of things as my farmer friends already keep me well supplied. So I'm considering turning my beds over to more unusual plants and more medicinal herbs instead. I'm going to chat with some chefs in town and see if they'd like some npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae I hope I linked this right--I found the mug! npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Oof, it's been a while. Lemme do a search and see if I can find the info. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae thanks! It is partly made using ash from the Mount St Helen's eruption 🌋 npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae An example of homegrown/dried calendula and store boughten. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Good morning ☀️ https://image.nostr.build/550f3d2bd58110a03ba7c65f0805564208244a36a10e5137976c56adb37a3b65.jpg npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Happy find of a handful of garlic scapes I missed on the first run. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae My garden started pumping while I was gone. And look what I found growing in one of the beds! Wonder what it is? https://image.nostr.build/31d81cdeec7889254f1cdbd35f47be2212448e7c21bf586c372786d56f5f9dcf.jpg npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae ooooo I can almost smell it 🍯 npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae great pics! npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae we leave ours out, unwashed until we use them. They never last long enough for me to know how long they'd last otherwise, yum. I've never used mineral oil though, interesting. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae that sounds way better than flying in a crowded airplane ✈️ npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae it's so fun seeing what's ripe in your part of the country, our figs won't be ready for quite a while. We just eat ours fresh. I tried canning as a syrup but didn't taste that great. Do you put yours away? npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae so sad npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae I can only speak for myself. I have been through trauma (more than once). Never did I question His overarching care for me and directing my paths. He calmed my fears at all times, even in the midst of chaos and pain. When I faced doubt, He sent me obvious and palpable signs of His presence, even when the circumstance(s) didn't change whatsoever. I still live with the fallout(s) of those times. God is good, all the time. That doesn't mean I get the life I want all the time. It means He is worthy of my trust no matter what because of Who He is, what He's done, and what He's promised me. I can't imagine going back to not knowing Him at all, and by His grace, that will never happen. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae I chose to fast. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae This is the "food" you are served in a hospital, presumably a place of healing. Under all that questionable gravy and meat is white potatoes and a slice of white bread. Your drink choices range from soda, energy drinks, factory milk, and sugared teas and juices. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae And thank you for asking that, it's always a good check 🙏 npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae 😭sooo happy for both of you, God is so good all the time npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Sitting here in the ER helping a lady who fell and fractured some ribs and all I can think about is comfrey and boneset and bone broths in between all the tests and tubes and worst case scenarios. https://image.nostr.build/4221524668fcf2a1a604a674407db7e099a00f5940efdd9a7e5799fc8c4e1faf.jpg npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae well done! npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae White wheat is typically used for lighter/pastry like bread, red wheat is far "heartier" with a stronger flavor. I typically like to blend the two (like 1/3 to 2/3) but ultimately it depends on what you're baking and if you want more rise or more flavor. I don't get good rise at all with fresh ground whole wheat when I am baking a true sourdough without adding some all purpose. Sifting the ground wheat helps but it's a big pain and you lose a lot of bran. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae if you can bring a duck, why not a cat? https://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/airplane-passengers-fall-love-emotional-support-duck-accompanying/story?id=42878860 npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Been traveling in the hot and humid midwest and always enjoy meeting plant friends in their natural surroundings: chicory, pokeweed, boneset. And the night noises and firefly shows, wow. People are real nice here as well, waving at me as I walk and all. I think most Americans are kindly. Supposedly we all hate each other (or are at least suspicious) but that's not my experience when I travel. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae There's no such thing as an "official" herbalist practitioner in the U.S. You could, conceivably (but not recommended), get a paper certificate from a weekend course and then hang up your sign for business. There are a lot of ways to learn, and you don't necessarily have to go to a school. But a serious herbalist will study for many, many years (all their lives, really), and include in their training clinical oversight and mentoring. Here are four schools as examples. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Easy Fruit Cobbler npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae I like them better when they're not as fat but honestly we eat them all the season until we're tired of them 😊 npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Usually in baked goods. Our fave is cobbler. I could write up the recipe if you're interested. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Let the rhubarb rumpus begin! https://image.nostr.build/f2fe9b2f4efb4c90d001f0be23d95123eaee33bbb0a97b935e2510174e7824a8.jpg npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae I can't hardly believe 4 small Italian sodas with 4 cookies cost me a quarter of a hundred dollars 😱 It makes me kinda sad I really can't take my kids out for a treat more often. https://image.nostr.build/55fd2e89e3e85574ebbb18111a3405d81e715d21ba6df97cae65b462426a6970.jpg npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae I have Mom Radar Ears so I haven't slept deeply in decades. Sometimes I tell my hubby I need a whole year in a quiet dark cabin to sleeeeeeeeeep. I hear everything. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae It's wet and grey again (hello, June Gloom). It's a good time to play with paints and read a book (currently This Light Between Us...how our own gov't deported our own Japanese brothers and sisters in the early 40's even while the Jewish people were getting deported throughout Europe). npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae That is awesome!! npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae We thought we took out an old gnarled grape vine but like the shoot of Jesse it's coming right back!! npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae I tried out these bags for my potatoes this year and they are doing super well! I've got five different varieties going. The water drains real well from them and I think the black helps to retain the heat. I've been topping the shoots off with compost and soil mix and layer by layer they keep making new spuds. At least we hope so! This bag is done and I'll keep the plants growing until they yellow and die off a bit, then I'll just dump over the bag onto a clean tarp and have the younger kids go on a potato hunt. That's the *plan* anyhow. https://image.nostr.build/7c40d3230c6d79659c612b7c686e985da48a9f40acfd21769c2ebed8a3e78721.jpg npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Because a whole lot of lighthearted and carefree people will be baking their skin that hasn’t seen the light of day for eight months 😎 npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae T'was! npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae It was sooo yummy. Glad my family finished it off! npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Fresh baked sourdough focaccia today with the first snips of rosemary and lemon thyme in between garlic cloves and sun dried tomatoes. I ate way too much of it but it was worth it. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae That's why abortion mills don't like mothers seeing ultrasound photos of their babies. If you can't see them, they don't exist. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Whoa that sounds cool! npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Wow that's impressive! I transplanted peonies earlier this spring and I have exactly *one* bud. Here's hoping for more next year! npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Sweet little bundles of fur, ready to head to new homes ❤️ https://image.nostr.build/2cc554b5b16d7a4c6e3c6d760fb8ac0d09a27564332151117a1ffe44bc379c69.jpg npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Always tough npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae https://open.substack.com/pub/benevolenthealer/p/herbs-a-wild-and-wonderful-apothecary?r=1d4yyq&utm_medium=ios npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae That was my guess too npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae My nonverbal kid is doing ammmmmazing learning how to spell to communicate. This is only "amazing" if you've never had a chance to know what's in your kid's head without guessing (and hoping you aren't wrong) until it gets unlocked by some miraculous hand of God. All these words were spelled on letter boards with effort and persistence. It's crazy how these kids already know how to spell everything (amygdala?!) and do split second math.

None of my starts looked excited until I went to a friend's farm and brought home some manure. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Snow in May! npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae I'm about finished in the garden, everything has transplanted well and looks good. Garlic planted last fall looks great, too. This year I'll have to pay attention to watering but next year's project will definitely be adding drip. I've got some thinning to do, two more beds to plant with green beans and whatever else, and a spot on the ground ready for all the squashes. A few stragglers remain under the dining room grow lights (flowers, mostly), but I've got room now for whatever interesting starts I find at the nurseries now. Seedlings are sprouting and I can't wait for my flowers to bloom! npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Wow that is really pretty npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae For real! npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Pressing tincture today. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Yes! That's exactly what they did, screwdriver and all! I once owned a car where I had a remote starter under the seat bc the ignition up front didn't work. That might've taken them a minute. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae That is great! I hope to find a close mentor like that for me someday! npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Looks beautiful!! npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae I finally got a good look at my van that was recovered (it had been stolen). I really want to knock the thieves heads together, shaming their mamas and all. They even used my ice chains to rip out the seat for whatever reason. They abandoned it stuck deep into mud on the side of the road. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae It came out really good! Wheels to pop on and off so it's easily moved with a handcart. The terrain in TX is quite a bit different than in the PNW 😊 npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Role 🙄 npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Had a great time in Texas visiting. Y'all (wink wink) have the most interesting plants and birds (furry plantain! Cardinals!). My husband built a chicken tractor for my daughter's family. You'll see in the pics my great roll in that 😂 https://image.nostr.build/da4429cbfdb200c70fdc69c3359239b29b6ca1ec7e5ef2cd78e5a04c0f0e75ec.jpg https://image.nostr.build/8a68bcf3100776dc0dde7f58b8752b63182feeb689b2ed3a63a9bad5d00d02f9.jpg https://image.nostr.build/660b453cf42c8c6d928036eb9750768376f96f96872f99d374c150bb013d729f.jpg https://image.nostr.build/8b9c603f276b3b66d8b6ef0655cf25d3e3f48b9b10e9312325c298c696c52009.jpg https://image.nostr.build/19e2ed2deef2e5ed83cfdf66ccc02603d8e933d32ab7d2fb94a8e5b04bfbb587.jpg https://image.nostr.build/1070c437c2893654f42ee999f03ccfc2641669b969de87596e2cfa804d74234b.jpg npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae That is so cool! npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Look up the Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013) too! Just saw that one, I thought it was funny and well done. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae We just watched Million Miles Away. It was good! npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae I really hope those kinds of restaurants become more commonplace. I believe they were originally meant as RESTOREants, to refresh weary travelers with nourishment. They've become thieves, stealing health and wealth from their patrons. npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Wow those look great! npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae How much milk per animal are you getting at the onset? npub1vg7z7wmyl48ed6r5ncvvreldgvqx48cy24tk4l6fke2emtzjmxtsff5xds kerimae Found a great farm-to-table place. Everything is of course yummy!
