Text of the page (random words):
rt of it is that i developed a macular degeneration problem in my peripheral vision and want to do less looking at computer screens for whatever impact they have i have been getting avastin intravitreal injections to treat the bleeder that was causing a blind spot the retinal specialist told me i could possibly stop getting the injections at 16 weeks apart but i read about some essential oils on the internet that can increase circulation to the retina so i started putting them on my face some time ago at around the 10 week shot interval care must be taken to put the oils just on the actual cheekbone and above the eyebrows avoiding the eyelids i do it in early evening so they are absorbed by bedtime twice at the beginning when applied late i inadvertently rubbed some in my eye in the middle of the night milk or oil on a paper towel can relieve the burning anyway the first time i got a shot after starting the oils i had applied them the night before and the i had proof the oils were getting into my actual eye fluid since they dispersed the shot fluid and i saw spangles all over the room when the nurse held up her fingers to check afterward i could barely see them the next time i went in i stopped the oils a week before and that didn t happen but my scans which had shown the damaged area as gold were suddenly purple instead and my scans started improving more and more with every shot i found 2 3 days were enough time to discontinue the oils before the shot so my last visit at 14 weeks the rs told me i could discontinue the shots and i just have to go in after 16 weeks to have a repeat dye test that shows my retinal circulation to check that it is stable so if i have been keeping you in suspense the 3 oils are frankincense cypress and helichrysum i just buy inexpensive brands like aura cacia nature s alchemy now and recently other essential oils from miracle botanicals and plant therapy i don t know if the expensive oils would have any better results or not to return to gardening i have extremely vigorous grapevines that ramble great distances and i wanted to let them grow across the entrance to one of my beds which are all surrounded with welded wire fencing with extensions of bamboo and netting to keep the deer out so i made a double rectangle of pvc pipe to make a little tunnel and the grapevines are supported across the top for some reason they love this and respond by making an extreme number of grape clusters this grape is the seedless variety glenora i tried tying up some vines in other places to see if i could encourage them it seems to be working i m also having a bumper crop of aronia this year the plants are supposed to get 3 6 tall 1 2 meters but mine are way beyond that at 20 years old plants tend to turn into monsters up here in the pacific northwest the ladder next to the 2 aronia shrubs is 7 tall 1 3 m tall aronia is borne in clusters of berries called pomes like apples and are in the rose family they are a little astringent and not very sweet though my son will eat them raw the remarkable thing about them is that they are the 1 north american native fruit for high antioxidant content also known as orac value and about 3 in the world i have tried them raw in a you tube recipe for a smoothie with almond milk and it was tasty usually i have made aronia gelatin recipe cook in water to cover until softened blend pour 2 cups of cold water on 1 3 cup beef gelatin powder and stir fast strain the hot aronia into the gelatin and stir to dissolve add stevia for sweetening if desired for improved taste and color add 1 2 tablespoons of citric acid add almond extract add enough water to make 2 quarts 2 liters of gelatin chill until firm everyone seems to like it the taste is reminiscent of cherries or blackberries or but i have such a bumper crop this year i am learning to make juice instead cook and strain sweeten with stevia then i store it in the refrigerator in a quart canning jar and to use i pour a glass 1 2 full then fill with water or club soda for a great drink the 2 shrubs tend to send out branches at a low angle so have made a grand snarl and i had trouble picking them last year especially up at the top so i pruned out a lot of branches and this year i am able to get a ladder into most of it and get up to the top to pick then i shorten the upper branches to hopefully make it lower next year today i am linking with https viewingnaturewitheileen blogspot com join eileen to see more critters my critters are cinnabar moth caterpillars they are my favorite insect diversion and i watch over them and move them if the tansy ragwort plants they are on get eaten to the point they have nothing left to eat they were imported to control tansy ragwort but they are gone after a while and the ragwort persists and keeps blooming so i have to cut off the flowers and rip out the plants anyway i think their stripes are adorable especially when they are disturbed and roll up looking like candy the moths are rarely seen they have black upper wings with red bands and dots and red underwings that give them their color name when they fly the red is visible but when frightened they drop down and fold their wings so the bright red suddenly disappears to throw off predators thanks for visiting hannah weeding on the wild side all rights reserved i enjoy reading

22 2018 welcome to my belated garden blogger s bloom day post to see what is blooming around the world check out hostess carol s blog here are some flowers blooming feb 18 in my garden i was amazed and delighted to finally get a bloom on my variegated camellia japonica taiyo which i bought from the collector s nursery as a very small plant in 2002 and just had it s first flowers it has lovely variegated leaves like creamy bird s feet and has slowly been growing in front of my husband s shop where it is seldom watered but perseveres i was especially surprised to see the flower now since it is winter and time for the camellia sasanqua s to bloom my large pink camellia japonica blooms in early spring apple blossom bloomed heavily in the early winter as it has for several years but yuletide had it s first couple of flowers last year and managed to have a few more this year though in february the other group of flowering plants in my garden at present are the wonderful hellebores they tend to have dangling flowers so it is hard to see their pretty faces so i had to hold up this one to see the pretty stippling of the petals with burgundy spots i always enjoy the complexity of their flower parts too there are signs of buds on some daffodils so it won t be long for them to bloom as well what is blooming in your garden hannah weeding on the wild side all rights reserved i

snowpocalypse and tomatoes february 13 2017 we had over a foot of snow in january and every plant in the yard that could be bent snapped or felled did so some of my 20 years old fruit trees fell over from the ground this was the only original fruit tree when we bought the house so older than 23 years it fell on a couple of other trees as well i m considering trying to top it stand it back up stake it and see if it survives three more large apples fell over as well this was a wonderful early apple william s pride from the pr purdue series because of fruiting so early it missed out on the codling moths and apple maggots that infest fruit that ripens later i m also going to try topping it and standing it up but it is very massive meanwhile my early indoor seedling starting is underway i planted tomato seeds and have them transplanted into individual pots some are heirlooms i have grown before black pear lucky cross luscious 1 fruity flavored bicolors somewhat bumpy or prone to splitting and cherokee purple new ones are the italian large pear shaped red pear gransasso hopefully making a fragrant sauce and bonus seeds cougar red and arbuznyi then i m experimenting with some new tomato strains with anthocyanin pigments bred into them because of their health properties in blueberries and aronia so the tomatoes are dark purple or with purple shoulders i m growing adelaide festival clackamas blueberry developed in my neck of the woods and supposedly they keep making fruit long into the fall instead of quitting like a lot of tomatoes and also indigo rose my grow shelf set up is my design metal shelves with 3 levels with 4 fluorescent fixtures tied under the first and second shelves two of the standard 10 x 20 flats fit on each shelf and hold 36 2 1 4 square rose pots each last year i added led grow lights on the ends which make plants grow like they are on steroids the tomato in the middle with darker leaves was moved from next to the lights and looks darker either from the lights or because of the anthocyanin pigments some of the tomatoes are regular and some are potato leaved i have a couple of peppers i started as well and a few flowers around the first of april i am planning to start a bunch of squash both bush and vining i decided the vining squash might be better to grow on the inside of the deer fences than the pole beans which like to grow through the fence bush squash include green marrow genovese mayeras and caserta vining summer squash include scarchuk s supreme table dainty upper ground sweet potato cheese type long curved tromboncino and small egg shaped tatume i hope the voles will leave them alone and i will have a harvest to report on next fall and now a vase for in a vase on monday hosted by cathy t his is a thrown vase i made long ago and a basket made by my youngest daughter the dried arrangement is made of a sprig of lunaria money plant and a similar plant with the same kind of pod structure but smaller called fibigia clypeata which has yellow flowers http weedingonthewildside blogspot com 2011 06 home grown successes html third photo down from the top you can see they are smaller in the close up they are fuzzy and stiff and i had to soak them to soften them up in order to peel off the outer layer there are also radish pods and mystery small seed pods in long narrow strips today i am linking with in a vase on

buying starts to plant my containers i ve been trying out seed grown plants or cuttings here are some favorites this year for my deck garden if you would like to vote for your favorite either of those pictured or one you grow yourself leave your selection in your comment browallia speciosa self sows readily in fact the seeds fall into my containers and come up the next year as a surprise they are very long blooming and make a cascade of blue purple sorry they look washed out when photographed i also have a second variety browallia americana that is a taller plant with larger flowers this one came up much later in the season notice the heart shaped leaves another very delightful container flower is the tropical milkweed asclepias curassavica it would be an annual here but as a container plant i can take it indoors in the fall to overwinter this is its third summer outdoors i am so impressed with it every branch is continually in bloom like a candelabra i m also growing 3 different cuphea two of which have expanded petals at the end of their cigar tube viscosissima which gets very tall and rangy c llavea also fancy flowers but also only a few blooms on the ends of long branches and finally cuphea ignea which looks like tiny glowing orange cigars small plants but compact and well branched continually covered with lots of long lasting flowers it makes me smile the flowers don t even get fuzzy and puff up like the other two before they burst open to scatter their seeds which makes it hard to save seed meanwhile i had to make use of some of the goldenrods blooming now for in a vase on monday join hostess cathy in her challenge to find some flowers to plonk in a vase for your enjoyment goldenrod makes great golden fall color in spikes of tiny star like flowers with a faint anise like fragrance here is a mixture of my three stalwart varieties solidago fireworks golden fleece and solar cascade i added some red clover for an accent after enjoying the vase for a while i cut
