Happy Holy Week!

Happy Holy Week you Trinita Crazies!! Hey, Carolyn, I am experimenting with some new "strange" things lately. I am trying ginger tea right from the root. I am trying to reduce my gluten, although today was not a good day for that. I am also trying to add turmeric....not even sure I spelled it right....to my diet. We shall see!

A blessed holy week to all!

Strawberry Fields FOREVER

I've started my strawberry seeds and it looks like I'll definitely have three plants and maybe four.  My goal is to transplant a couple to the garden and a couple to containers.  The ones in containers I hope to move back inside when it gets cold again and see how long they'll produce edible strawberries for when they're under the lights inside.  Exciting!  :)  And if the fourth one does come up, I could bring one of the containers to Trinita this summer, if the sisters are looking for any donations to their vegetable garden.  Assuming that these things fruit at all.  I will provide pictures soon.  (This is the second time I've started strawberries inside.  The first time they were alpine strawberries and so weren't that sweet and I also started them in January and grew them almost exclusively under lights.  They were not at all edible until moved outside.  This time, they're regular strawberries and are under lights but in front of a south-facing window and so already are getting strong natural light.  I think this may be a formula for success.)

Not much else is happening healthy-wise.  Although I did get a container of Sustenex, a probiotic, a couple of weeks ago.  I took one everyday for two weeks and now I'm going to take one every other day and space it out more as time goes on.  I'm not sure how I'll know if they make a difference, but I wanted to try it.  Haha, at least nothing bad has happened yet!
