I love that you called the nasturti...Hey Mokihana!<br /> I love that you called the nasturtiums "nasties" - cause honestly yesterday they were starting to smell 'nasty' - it got so strong with all those flowers, it was like someone had sprayed some spray paint with a little spicey sweet perfume. This is good though- maybe now the whole bug repelling thing might really kick in! :)<br /><br />Gratu -<br />Beets will clean ya out - I always imagine if I eat them that my whole entire body is dyed red on the inside. I think of beet roots as more of a medicine then a regular veggie, that's why I don't eat it very often.<br />I use them in a carrot spaghetti sauce though to dye the carrots a more reddish color, so that it looks like tomato spaghetti sauce.<br />It can be made to taste really similar but always sweeter and without the acidic tang.<br />About the pickling thing --- that is why the government calls that whole sector the "FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION" , because they like to feed us shit food from huge corporations so that they can get plenty money for the pharma companies when everyone has chronic pain and illness from processed and chemicalized foods. This might not be thought through with evil intent, but the profits both the giant food companies and pharma companies are making off each other is what is driving the whole thing -> certainly a few blind eyes are being turned on purpose though. If small scale farmers could sell their food without having to pay for all kinds of BS then the larger food companies would lose some of their monopoly on the most basic necessity in life.

Too bad they're gross. <br /><br />Seriously though, and speaking of pickled livers, what's this I hear about farmers not being allowed to sell "acidified" items like pickles at local markets? And being forced to drop 500 bills for some crap course in Raleigh just to be able to sell at all? Hasn't 10,000 years of sharing bounty been enough time to prove it's pretty much okay? Govern this, government!<br /><br />Oops, sorry, way off topic. My political hackles are up.

The one you linked to is kind of like a mini green house, since it looked as though it has glass on top. Seems like a fairly easy project to put together too. I wonder where a good place to get used glass for cheap would be??Miss Voodoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01506905242956102111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808924925271942230.post-67152834378959952652009-09-17T16:34:56.428-04:002009-09-17T16:34:56.428-04:00Have you considered planting in a garden box?Have you considered planting in a <a href="http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/4851026/garden-312-kristensmall_Full.jpg" rel="nofollow">garden box</a>?Erik <3s organic furniturenoreply@blogger.com
