I'm New To The Group

[Guest guest]

Hi all: I'm 69 1/2 years old and I've always hated taking pills for

any reason, though I realize that sometimes we just have to.

 

I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which I contracted in 1985, but I

prefer to tough out the muscle aches, rather than take medicines. I

have found that diet has a lot to do with how I feel from day to day

though. I pretty much stay away from red meat. That makes a big

difference for me.

 

I have discovered that Echinacae tea makes any cold symptoms go away

within a day so I haven't had a real cold in many years.

 

My efforts at gardening here in California haven't been very

successful because we have geckos and gophers that eat anything green

that comes out of the earth and bulbs of any kind. To thwart that,

my husband and I built a small greenhouse last fall and for the first

time, I'm attempting to grow some food and herbs inside the

greenhouse.

 

I planted two types of mint, one flavored with licorice, astralagus,

calendula, and bergamot. I have a huge sage bush outside, with large

leaves so I don't know for sure if thats the right kind to grow or

not. I love that plant though a relative's Mom has a sage plant with

smaller leaves than mine. I wasn't aware there was more than one type.

Hoping someone can clue me in on that.

 

At this point, I'm planning to hand pollinate all the plants I'm

growing, but don't know how successful that will be. This is all new

to me.

 

Because of chemtrails (we have lots of them here) I really don't want

to grow the plants outside if I don't have to. The orchard bees were

removed in their hives yesterday so we'll have a few bees around for

a couple weeks and then they die off. In summer we have few bees in

the wild to do much pollination.

 

If anyone has any suggestions on how to cope with my gardening

situations, I'd sure appreciate it. Meanwhile I'll search for

previous messages and see what I can find.

 

Thanks to everyone on the list. I know you all know a whole lot more

than I do in this regard.
