Organic gardening refers to growing fruits, vegetables, seeds, or grains using only natural means. In other words, no pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, or other poisonous chemicals or fertilizers are used in the process of growing food. Instead, the soil is tilled and prepared using gathered mulch, composted manure or food and leaf remains. Also, the plants are sprouted and grown with the aid of sun, water, minerals from compost, companion planting, and your own loving touch. Organically-raised produce is harvested and eaten with the confidence that it is grown naturally and poison-free.  So there you go now you know what Organic is all about and don’t forget my new gardening book which is coming out this spring.  For ordering just leave me a message here on this blog in a comment I will get back at you that is if you let me know where to reach ya.  Talk Soon.

Milk cancels out the heart protective benefits of tea drinking and also when mixed with different kinds of fruits. So……..best just eat your fruit with nothing on them.  I like them better that way anyways.  Talk Soon

Hundreds of thousands of people go to hospital emergency rooms each year due to adverse reactions to prescription drugs. Many of them are so sick from medication-produced problems, they are admitted for a hospital stay. And then what happens? A high number of those who are hospitalized are given more drugs that also cause adverse — and sometimes deadly — reactions.  So boils down to this.  Eat, right. Don’t take prescription med unless there is no alternative, then make darn sure you even need them.  Do the resurch yourself. Ask Questions then sleep on it and make up your own mind. Simple as that.  Good way to help staying healthy is get outside in the sunshine, get down on your knees and get to planting your own garden.  Makes for one healthy body.  My way of lookin’ at things.

People have been eating flowers almost since the beginning of recorded time. Who knows what prompted the first floral snack? It could be that the flower looked so tasty somebody tried eating them. Some of the flowers that are good to eat would be:  Dandilion top of the list. I like to get then when they first come out in the spring.  Nasturtiums have a peppery taste. The most important consideration in the use of flowers as edibles is to know your source. Flowers you grow yourself are probably the safest. You know they don’t contain pesticides. Never eat flowers purchased from a florist as they have many unhealthy additives.

Flowers are best when picked and prepared within a few hours of eating. In most cases only the petals are used.

Everyone these days is looking for the magic pill that will help with weight loss, improve immunity, increase memory, help the heart, or fight off cancer. Unfortunately, there is no such thing. But wouldn`t it be exciting to know that these benefits can be achieved through eating superfoods that might be in your kitchen right now? These foods are:  Beans, Blueberries, Walnuts, Omega 3 or fish.  So  just another reason to eat right and make some lifey style changes. Like getting outside more and either growing your own veggies or buying only organic. SImple as that.

Although vitamin D is naturally produced in the body through exposure to direct sunlight, vitamin D deficiency is now common in the U.S. The result can be a host of health ills, including severe conditions such as bone thinning osteoporosis and bone deforming rickets. Although a lack of vitamin D has long been known to weaken both the muscular and the skeletal systems of the human body, little has been known about how vitamin D contributes to muscle power and force — until now. For the first time, scientists have found that vitamin D is important for muscle power and all kinds of health problems.   Hmmm and they are just finding this out now.
