#StJohnsWort - I grow them in a separate contained area. I grow false St John's Wort in a different contained area.
The true St John's Wort is a longtime #medicinal#plant. As with all #PlantMedicines, that originate from the wilds, please learn more about each plant & how to properly use it, first. If harvesting in the wild - be responsible with picking.
Trinidad #ScorpionPepper & #CarolinaReaper - 2 of the #HotPeppers varieties that I'm growing this year. I only have 4 of each plant. All are inside my DIY scrap wood greenhouse.
With so many unwanted #pets, staff say things are at a breaking point. People come to the shelter looking to surrender their animals but are turned away daily.
“We have about 45 #dogs on our waiting list to come in, we probably have double that in #cats waiting to come in.”
Great fun, #paddling & drumming in our first races! We did pretty good, considering we've had only 7 practices. We beat a more experienced team that has trained twice/week for a few years in our last race with time of 1:08 minutes!
I'm exhausted & bit sore. Putting ice packs on & then having a long hot bath 🛀
Again, please see pinned posts with videos of #antimasker#police abusing our #HumanRights & #HealthSafety rights - in our own home. After refusing to leave for a strictly #covid#CardiacArrest 911 call. After being told to leave. After being told my Dad has #PTSD from abusive cops in past. After being told, this is a #WarSurvivors family & #cops aren't welcomed unless absolutely necessary & it wasn't necessary.
Back from garden centre.
Winds blew me over, into laurel bushes, on my way to backyard. I didn't fall to the ground, the bush caught me. I'm not injured. I get knocked over in high winds often & have to walk with safety help(when someone is available) to avoid falling to the ground & getting injured.
The sun emerged for an hour.
I went to get stakes & also picked up a pre-order of chicken feed for a neighbour who has a sprained ankle & unable to drive for awhile.
All hostas are fully #edible - from root to shoots to stems to foliage to flowers. Roots/shoots/leaves taste like combo of asparagus & endives - cook them up, in similar ways. Flowers can be sugared & they taste like raw honey.
