Pasteurized Milk

The vaccine pushing, disease scare mongering agency known as the CDC has put out a stunning piece of propaganda attacking fresh milk which is raw, claiming it is 150 times more dangerous than pasteurized milk. This is all part of their anti American agenda to crush food freedom and criminalize fundamental farming practices upon which this very nation was founded. Yes, George Washington and the founding fathers drank raw milk, grew hemp and even smoked a little weed as medicine.
Pasteurized dairy is produced in the dirtiest milk factories imaginable where blood, e.coli and other truly dangerous pathogens are routinely bottled into milk containers and fed to consumers. Just check out this website www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIRshcfNLDk

Gardening

Winter

The garden has been put to bed for the winter, but things are still happening. Garlic has been planted. With the onset of the cold of winter growth is fairly slow until temperatures warm in spring. The cold of the winter is needed to initiate the side buds that will ultimatelly grow and swell to become cloves. I will talk about harvesting and storage later.

It is June 22nd today and the garlic is looking great. I am preparing to dig it up and store it in the garage for several weeks till it drys. Then it will be ready for use in spaghetti sauce, salads, salsa or just eating by the clove. Garlic is very good for you. A heart healty herb.

Close your eyes for a minute and imagine what your dream garden would look like. Don't let reality intrude -forget about frustrating limitations like poor soil, and uncooperative weather. Let your mind wander and put together the garden you've always longed for. There is a way to make this dream come to life in your own backyard.

We live in an area where it is quite flat and the water seems to settle on top of the ground. I have decided to cover the garden this year with plastic. It will kill the weeds and hopefully will keep the ground from getting too water logged.

Today I have my seed catalogs spread on the kitchen table and I am deciding which variety and amounts of seeds I am going to order this year. I am taking inventory of what I have from last year and filling in the gaps. It is truly an exciting time for me as I love to garden and I am awaiting to feel the soil with my fingers. Only a true gardener knows what this feels like. It makes you one with this earth and gives you peace and tranquility.

Let's get started talking about vegetables to be planted. Nothing beats the taste of freshly harvested crops. Crisp lettuce straight from the ground, plums still warm from the sun, the scent of fresh thyme - these are the delights and rewards of the home gardener.

Your own fruit, vegetables and herbs not only taste better and cost less than any you can buy - their food value is greater too. The vitamin content of many crops deteriorates rapidly once they are harvested, so that much of their goodness is lost on the journey from the farm to the kitchen.

I have been gardening now for thirty years and I am still learning. Try to get hold of a good book that supplys you with all the information that you need to grow a successful garden. I would recommend Home Growing by Edwin F. Steffek. You will find your questions answered and your enthusiasm roused.

Let's start with lettuce. Lettuce perfers a moist but well - drained soil. Sewing outdoors can start in early spring with the first of a succession of sowing every two weeks maintaining a supply as long as possible. I will start sowing my lettuce in middle march with leaf and head varieties.

Peas are the next vegetable that I grow. I grow the bush pea and perfer the laxton progress variety. It is an early pea with pods of five to six peas. I freeze the peas for soup for the winter and to eat fresh. I taste test in the garden too. A fresh pea taste just like candy with its high sugar content.

I will leave you with this information to absorb and will talk later about potato and carrot planting.
If you have any questions or feedback please post a comment.

More Vegetables, Please!

Is there a vegetable boycott in effect in your family?

You'll find that even finicky eaters are suprisingly easy to reform with these Tips:

. making vegetables taste good with seasoning and sauces

. adding vegetables to your family's favorite dish

. changing your vegetable choices with the seasons

. encourage the whole family to get excited about food and

nutrition.

Hope this helps. With winter in progress we need to have our leafy greens and our beets on the table.

Herb Gardening Indoors

Many herb plants can be easily grown indoors, in a sunny windowsill or under lights. You can have a herb garden throughout the winter, with fresh herbs to cook with, in your kitchen. Herbs will grow in containers with minimal care.

Freezing is a quick and easy way to preserve fresh garden herbs. We usually think 0f drying herbs to keep them, but many herbs, like basil, mint and chives don't dry easily. Freezing these herbs will preserve their garden fresh flavor for months. For air drying I put my herbs in a brown paper bag and keep them in a warm dry dark place like a garage or shed. Check them each week to see if they are crumbly and drying. I love to smell fresh herbs and they add such a wonderful flavor to many dishes that I cook.
Companion Planting

There is no rule that says vegetables and flowers can't mix. In fact, the vegetable garden will benefit greatly from the addition of some flowers and herbs. It's not just esthetics that make flowers and herbs welcome in the vegetable garden. Companion Planting offers several beneficial features that can protect your vegetables from insect pests and even make them more productive.
Blue Birds
Hello fellow gardeners! I know you are anxious for the growing season to begin anew. Spring weaather will bring about a peak of daffodils, forsythia and the iris in bloom. But today I want to talk about bluebirds. I have two nesting bottles in my yard. Bluebirds have rather peculiar nesting habits. Unlike most birds, which are content to face the elements from an open nest, bluebirds will only complete their nesting cycle if they have a roof over their heads. Few sights in nature are more beautiful to the eye than the flash of its iridescent blue, few sounds to the ear more delightful than its soft, melodious wable. The females wear a more muted attire than the males, showing bright blue in their wing and tail feathers only when they fly. Bluebirds make ideal tenants-their needs are fairly simple. I am having a problem with feeding them though. I bought the nuggets that they supposedly love and given them grape jelly but neither one has worked for me. If you have any ideas I would love to hear them.

Be back soon!
