  1. I started this huge pot of #sorrel from a small handful of free seeds, 4 years ago. I've been harvesting/eating from it, year round ever since! I keep roots mulched in Winter. It keeps providing fresh healthy food, every single season 👩‍🌾💚👍

  4. Cold Climate Gardening Tips for #Maine’s Short Growing Season

    By Jessica Knowles, February 3, 2025

    Excerpt: "Cool-season crops are a great choice because they can withstand lower temperatures and often mature quickly. #LeafyGreens like #spinach, #kale, and #lettuce not only grow well but can also be harvested multiple times throughout the season, making them highly productive. Root vegetables such as #carrots, #radishes, and #beets thrive in Maine’s rocky soil when it’s properly amended with compost. Brassicas, including #broccoli, #cabbage, and #cauliflower, are particularly hardy and perform exceptionally well when planted early in the season."

  5. I grow 4 kinds of #sorrel on year round basis - common garden sorrel, Arctic dock, Belleville sorrel & Patience dock. The assorted sorrel salad greens pots are moved into small greenhouse in Winter. I do succession sowing every 2 weeks for continous harvest. I let the strongest plants go to seed & use those seeds to grow more.

  6. #FolkMedicine #ElderlyDiet

    We're finding #Kale (as we use it; lots and with the stalks chopped up and steamed too) more effective than other steamed #LeafyGreens in keeping away from #Constipation.

    This is not a RCT, nor direct comparison of fresh or dried types of leafy greens by weight or volume.

    Added benefit: We claim, on the basis of "It feels good to say it", that leafy greens are improving complexions. 😃

  7. maybe someone can take this idea and improve upon it:

    draft - idea - an app called something to the effect of "Salad Tracker" where whenever you eat a salad, you log it, and then, you get to see a log of all the times you eat salads, to help motivate you to stay on course while trying to lose weight / fast / eat health / bike

  8. draft - idea - an app called something to the effect of "Salad Tracker" where whenever you eat a salad, you log it, and then, you get to see a log of all the times you eat salads, and it would intertwine with google health / google fit / apple health etc (or not, maybe its just a standalone app) to help motivate you to stay on course while trying to lose weight / fast / eat health / bike / walk / jog , etc...
