I know it’s in the dead of winter, but… Here they plant a garden year round, even radishes grow in the winter. Actually they are called “daikon”. They look like a white carrot the size of elephant tusks. Also winter napa cabbage and spinach. I never really ate raw spinach, but I recently tried it and it is delicious. Has kind of a walnut taste to it. Anyway we have a “Paradise Garden”, and we planted a “biwa tree”, blueberry bush, 3 strawberry plants and some flowers. I wish we had more land, I’d have a real garden. Oh, forgot, we also have a mulberry tree and a grape vine that has mini grapes.
The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete
It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 Pete

What is the best way to pick mulberries?

What is the best way to pick mulberries?
while their still green, with the sap from the stems and leaves, then their mildly hallucinogenic. 😉

Daikon, Chinese call it a turnip, Lo Bok. One of my favorite Dim Sum dishes is “radish cake” or ‘Turnip cake”
If your eating a lot of Tempura or fried foods a little gratted raw Daikon with a dash of light soya helps with the digestion. -

I do some gardening here in Missouri. With the drought last year, we harvested very little. The garden plot is roughly 40X30. I plant corn, pickling cucumbers, bush beans, tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, watermelon, cantaloupe, onions, beets, carrots, jalapenos, cilantro, bell peppers. And my granddaughter plants sunflowers. I sure hope we get enough rain this year to sustain a good growth. My wife cans the beets and pickles, of course the peppers, tomatoes, and onion and cilantro make a great salsa.

The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete
It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 Pete

Nut oils can be heated to the highest temp. so I perfer them but sunflower seed oil is one of my choices too.
Olive oil is great but it does flavour the food. Olive oil should be cheap right now, there is a world glut of it. I’ve seen the price come down a bit but hopefully more in the future.
I won’t use or buy “Canola oil”. This is named from “Canada Oil” (and I’m Canadian). It is Rapeseed that has been selectivly bred to reduce the erucic acid and eliminate glycosides. I don’t believe half of the stories about it on the net but Monsanto makes a genetically altered variety “roundup resistant”. Roundup is a herbiside that they manufacture. Not fussy about altered food but worse is the politics. This company seems intent on eliminating small farmers.Gordo

Here we can get Hokkaido sunflower seed oil. I’ll have to run it by the wife. Rapeseed oil I too am not crazy about using, but it is a big seller for year end gifts.
