Well just a quick hello to let folks know that I am still kickin’ . So much rain here the past few days it is sure taking its toll on my gardens especially my tomatoes. Thing is once we get so much rain and no sunshine the plants all get to growing tops and no bottoms, or vegetables. I have had a good crop of broccoli so far this year and got about a bushel in the freezer. More is still coming in smaller amounts and they are for eating right now. Nothing better than freshly picked broccoli dipped in some nice home made garlic dip on a summers day. And so…………………..good for ya too. Carrots are coming along also but same there, need some sunshine and less rain to bring them up to size. Tomatoes are starting but I had to do a lot of trimming on them so the sun can get down to the bottom of them but they are coming and they look promising now, which is a good thing as I sure love my tomatoes. Well guess I will go and get some lunch while we can as we have also been very busy here in our small store. Talk Soon.

You know, for over forty years I have dedicated myself to informing folks about different items that comes to mind. Especially prescription drugs, banks, powers that be and our environment. One thing that I bet most folks don’t realize, is that our environment has really out gotten out of hand. For example, right now each and every day millions of pounds of pesticides are being dumped right onto your soil. It’s needed to stop insects and things from taking over our food chain they say. Well I say that is hog wash. There is literally hundreds of different things one can do to combat insects from being a problem. Top on the list is using other insects, as usually where there is one insect, there is another not to far behind him, that is thinking of having him for lunch. I myself farmed over a 100 acres of fresh fruit and vegetables in my day, and for a good number of years I never sprayed one drop on my crops. What happened? Well nothing, that’s what happened. Oh sure, I might have lost a few bushels here and there, but bottom line , I ended up with more fruit and veggies than those that used pesticides. Why do they use them then? Well, simple, the pharmaceutical companies make the pesticides, or most of them, and, well, unfortunately the new minds of today think they are right. What ever they say folks take it as Gospel. Also the Government should have stayed out of the farming business here in Canada, as they were the main down fall of it all. Just to many things to name here, but they were, at least through the eyes of this old farmer. Some day I will explain to ya exactly what the governments or powers that be did to the small time farmer. Thing is folks, the soil is our only source that we can grow our crops and if they keep it up, well simply put, we are going to starve to death. Also today landfills are filled to the brim and millions of tons are being shipped to third world countries. What do they do with it? Well a lot of it goes directly in the ocean. Can you believe that. Not bad enough that they are poisoning our farm land, now they have to poison our oceans. Right now they say there is a lump of trash that is floating in the water near the North Pole, twice the size of France; it`s about 33 feet deep. Most folks say, hey, not bothering me any, so why worry. Well……… I say, there is plenty to worry about. But that is the mentality of a lot of folks today. What to do? Well there is lots and I shouldn’t have to be the one to tell you either. But here are a few; do the research, open your eyes, don’t believe everything that the Powers That Be is telling you, become more self efficient and take the blinders off. The earth is all we got, we as humans are earth and I believe we came from it, and we will return to it. Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do, and people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination which is why we have the problems we do today.

OK, for the past few days I have given you my outlook on a few things pertaining to life, and even got a bit into my life, how I do things, feel and see things. Remember now, that these are my views on things and mine alone. Some might not think like I do, and I suspect a lot of folks don’t, but something inside me the past few years has been pushing me to get my views on things out into the open. I like to think it is a good thing, ways of helping folks, bringing things to light on different items. Might say, a different outlook on life. Not that I am, telling, asking or trying to change your way of thinking, as I am not. So … that’s that.
On another note, one item that comes to mind that folks can get a lot of help from is the weed, or some call a herb, is Comfrey. Comfrey is one plant that I use a lot around our home here. I have used it to treat broken bones, swellings, torn ligaments, hernias, arthritis, wrinkles, blisters, stretch marks, cuts, bruises, well the list goes on and on. It is a very safe plant to use and unbelievably easy to make an ointment out of. Here is how I make my ointment. First I pick some real nice looking leaves from the plant, around fifteen so. Kind of depends on how big they are, mine is usually about medium in size. I then lay them on the grass and wash them real good with a hose. I then shake them dry and lay them all out on the picnic table to dry in the sun. One has to turn them a few times throughout two days, but after that you are in business. I then crush them up dry, and put them in a masonry jar. Fill it just about full. I then take some extra virgin olive oil and cover them totally. Using a stick I push the oil down all around the leaves, until they are all soaked real good and no bubbles left in the jar. I then take the ring and put a paper towel under it and screw it back on the jar. Acts like a lid, but still allows it to breath. Now I just sit it on the kitchen counter and in about three to six weeks, I have the greatest healing ointment you can get. After about three to six weeks I strain it through some cheese cloth and set it in the medicine cabinet. That’s it, you’re in business. So there you go, a bit of old time wisdom once again, comes to the rescue and saves a fellow or gall all kinds of grief. OK, now is saying this, one should make sure your not allergic to the plant. Easy way is to crush up a fresh leaf and rub it on your wrist. If it doesn’t turn red you’re in business. Just a small spot, about the size of a quarter will do it. Also, I only use it externally. Enjoy Summer!
