My heritage/non-GMO seeds came in. I ordered 8 different seeds, and 4 are winter crops. My son and I planted beets, parsnips, radishes and spinach. I put the rest in the fridge with my other seeds.
I went to Half Price Books and bought a book on alternative therapies. It has a section on essential oils as well as things to eat to treat different things.
I used essential oils in an attempt to treat my lymphedema in my arms. It seemed to relieve it a bit. I used a base oil of rose oil, with one drop of cinnamon leaf oil for inflammation and two drops of grapefruit oil for water retention. The next night I added lemon which supposedly helps concentration, but I'm dead dog tired, and turning in a bit early (writing this Saturday night). I don't know if the combination was just too relaxing, or running around and going to the book store and Big Lots was a bit too much. It could be that my body just wants to heal, so I'll listen to it. As an update, I think adding lemon was a bit too much. Tonight I'll just do cinnamon leaf and grapefruit.
My son's lettuce is doing well, though I told him he should thin it out some. He thinks it's wasteful and doesn't want to lose any. He says the radishes are coming up.
