Week Fourteen

Finally had all the information I needed to do the taxes, so I did them last week. This week was spent catching up on all the undone things. So you'll be getting two weeks worth of information.

The tomatoes are pretty much done. They were good, but not great. Will try a different brand next year. These were yellow, a bit mushy and not as sweet as I like. The onions are growing, but not big enough to pull. the lettuce, spinach and cilantro are doing great and continue to supply food for the table.

I purchased a variety of fruits this week so our nutriblasts include, not necessarily at the same time, cantaloupe, watermelon, apple, pear, orange, banana, pineapple, avocado, papaya and grapes. I prefer adding these to kale and the rest of the family prefers spinach. I'm still adding whey to Thom's drink and will switch to bee pollen soon. Angel has me add walnuts and I add flax seeds to mine. Will add other seeds and nuts as money permits.

Benefits moment:

Pears--Pears are hypoallergenic--less likely to cause allergic reactions--and high in colon-clearing dietary fiber. The fresh, buttery fruit also contains free radical-fighting copper and vitamin C.

Pears are quite perishable once ripe, so grocery stores generally sell them a few days before they're ready to be eaten. By smooth, unblemished pears and set them on your counter to ripen. You'll know they're ready once their skin gives way to gentle pressure.
