We don't know when it will happen, but we do know it will happen. Eventually, the 'plan' will come to fruition. And I'm sure we all want to be at our healthiest and best when that happens.
I was thinking that perhaps we could have an ongoing thread where those interested would post their routines and even questions about how each of us can be our healthiest. I'm sure there are those here who are bodybuilders, for instance. Perhaps they could post about what they do, what they eat, etc. There are probably those who want to get in better shape. Perhaps they could post questions specific to their concerns and the frens could answer.
For instance, I would love to know what my fellow frogs are doing on a daily or weekly basis to keep fit.
Exercising? (What kind)
Eating a certain way? (what, specifically)
Taking supplements? (which ones)
Let's help each other get as strong as we can, physically and mentally. And if people are interested in this idea and would like to partake, I will eventually post some info about our spiritual health, as well. What do you say, frogs? Are you ready to get in the best shape of your life? Let's gooo!
Fresh lettuce. I don't really like lettuce but it seems when I eat some garden fresh lettuce I have so much energy. I don't get the same benefits from the store bought ones.
Anything from the garden is amazing. When I was growing up my dad kept a full garden of every vegetable and plant you could imagine. The moment you hit the bottom step you were greeted by the aroma of mint. Even just the scents did a huge amount for wellbeing. That's why fresh produce is good, it stimulates your senses.
Lucky you to have such a wise dad.
Sorry to hear about that. I can't understand parents who hurt their children. It's so unthinkable.
Interesting! Thank you. I could use some extra energy. Perhaps I'll grow some. I understand it grows quickly, too.
Yeah it's about thrrr weeks until the first salad. But it tends to be a little bitter if it gets too hot. I have mine under fruit trees but they still are often not super delicious.
That's good to know. My garden is in full sun so I might have to figure out a shade. Thanks for the tip.
Think about hydroponics.
I picked up a kit for the family for Christmas just to try. I chalked the cost of the system up to being about the price of a community ed course - $50-75. It's the price of education.
We grew lettuce in the winter indoors. Totally worked! Tasted great.
Bought a few more hydroponic systems as part of a prepping system for food. Used these kits as tomato starters for our garden - it worked great! Totatoes are now planted in the garden.
Kale, rosemary, and lavender starting from seed now in the hydroponic system.
Still doing lettuce while waiting for garden to come in. (I'm in growing zone 3 if this seems late to be starting gardening. 🙂)
This winter I plan to continue lettuce and then do herbs. Basil, peppermint, and cilantro for cooking. Unless of course SHTF and I need to grow more substantial food. 🙂
I got the kit off Amazon. Box, grow light, fertilizer, cones/sponges are all included. I purchased seeds separately.
