Sunday Review Week Four

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.
