For you gardeners out there, here is some advice she gave me:
Before you plant, mix compost and cow manure in the soil. (You can even buy these things at Walmart these days. Not that I support Walmart---I'm just sayin'.)
After you see leaves shooting up, put fish emulsion on it. I've never heard of this, but you mix a teaspoon of it in a gallon of water and put it on once a week. My aunt says that her garden absolutely took off when she did this. It makes sense. When you use conventional fertilizer, you're only putting 3 nutrients on. Fish emulsion provides a whole spectrum of nutrients. (Also, didn't the Indians bury a fish in the ground when they planted corn? They knew what they were doing.)
I think I'm going to start small and try an herb garden again, but I'm going to see if I can make a cage or something to keep those pesky squirrels out!
We grow basil, chives, oregano and mint in pots on the patio. It's small scale, but very successful. We don't fertilize, but just plant in a good quality potting soil, such as the Miracle Grow mix. It may not be organic as such, but we get satisfaction out of picking it fresh and eating it for dinner.
ReplyDeleteLast year I made pesto with the basil when it started yellowing in the fall. We enjoyed it all winter. I froze it in 2 Tablespoon portions.
Ooh, I love your idea of freezing pesto portions. I love fresh basil and pesto! Maybe I will try it your way. At least I can put the pots indoors when the squirrels show up!
ReplyDeleteHello, my name is RITA CARMEN and I have been trying to get pregnant for over 12 years. i have been looking for ways online for so long, I first did Depo Provera Shot which i consecutively took every three months in order to get pregnant or fertile, but there was no way from it. I did Depo shot for 3 years constantly until my Doctors in Australia told me to try IVF because I had Endometriosis stage 4 and I resulted to try IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). For months after my IVF no progressed and my situation became worse that my husband had already had plans or getting married to another woman because I was barren. I read a testimony about Prophet Abulele how he had helped so many women with pregnancy problems and also how he usually casts return spells to bring back partner and make one fertile. Of all options tried, I gave Prophet Abulele a try. I am now a mother of a baby boy. For over 13 years of my marriage I received my help from this spell caster. I want to impact on someone's life and make the person get help from a good spell caster. Prophet Abulele's email is:- prophetabulelehealingtemple@gmail.com and his WhatsApp is +2349022406159 once you contact him, he will help you fast.
