A Bit Of Encouragement For Those New To This Journey.

General Talk

Hi Lunakat,  that's really good to see and your words were very encouraging too. I've got a kind of lop-sided look going as one side is dreading faster; I'm being patient and  trying to avoid touching the less locked up side (after SE's latest advice)  Just accepting the difference is part of reassurance they will turn out ok eventually(yours look awesome and have encouraged me - like your colouring too).  

I'm nearly at three years, so must get my daughter to help get some photos to post soon, thanks for the inspiration, keep on dreading.

Hope all's good with you in the states (Covid/ Lockdown etc notwithstanding),  Looking forward to spring around the corner soon, and getting to some growing in the garden (Yard I think you guys call them!)

SE...hope you're OK for funding, I would contribute a bit if I can, and reckon quite a few other site users would too.  

 

what fake dread?

Evenings are starting to get lighter, thinking of  planing/planting some veg  seeds etc as spring is just around the corner 

keep dreading and stay safe

Thanks, does that mean I should try to sleep more with my head on the left or right side ?

'Fraid not SE, usually sleep on my back, occasionally front or side. Have not noticed which side I sleep on most.  Any other ideas?

Hi folks, its approaching two years and I'm still patiently(and not patiently) waiting/watching/separating......

Seems my hair is dreading ok on the right,(starting at the back) and got a nice variety of shape and sizes from pencil thick to thumb thickness; however the left side is still reluctant to take shape and catch up. I've accepted it will catch up slowly, however I don't want to end  totally imbalanced or lop-sided as we say...... 

Using Vickys anti-scratch formula shampoo and separating after washing when dried (naturally in fresh air when possible) 

Any one else had similar experience and/or got any suggestions.

Eggplants?  think they're Called Aubergines over here, (like slugs, I've never tried one!)...   Do you get any "helpful, wildlife gardeners?  We get hedgehogs (sadly becoming much rarer) which eat slugs and I've got 3 resident slow-worms* in my compost heap, which i hope are going out slug eating to help me out.  Need to acquire more Tomatoes, nothing beats the taste of home grown toms..mmmmm  

*will try and get some photos.   

Here we go! *natural *

@S Eagle  Never fancied Slugs, but just started researching someone (from California I think) who experimented eating slugs; looks like he deep fries them in batter and spices, said they taste like a cross between calamari and mushroom (could be worse). This guy mentions using Dr Broners to disinfect things (also for washing dreads?) He seemed to go through a long desliming process boiling them in ACV hmm

We get some fairly similar slugs over here (not quite like your banana boys) but dont think Im desperate enough to start stir frying them yet!

Apparently you have to feed them clean lettuce for a day or two to purge and toxic stuff out. I recall one TV chef trying to clean slime from them in vinegar with little success and We had a manager at work you would eat snails he gathered in the wild..  Think I'll stick with mushrooms for now...

@ peacefull passer  my blue berries (first year) are a nice shade of green at the moment, must protect them from the birds soon.Leeks and  carrots are looking ok.  Have various pots of compost with runner beans and green beans (hope to train the runners up into my tree branches) Have a few small apple trees in pots doing ok, peas dont seem to like my soil- but i will get them growing one year!  No room for a cow as I only have about 0.01 Acre garden or less. Trade you some leeks for one of your big pumkins?
