<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Beets, leafy greens and other vegetables are high in nitrate and "may" help lower blood pressure naturally. They do so by relaxing your blood vessels and improving circulation.<br />
<br />
As a Certified Master Herbalist I recommend eating these plants RAW if you can as you will preserve the vitamin and mineral content which is often depleted or reduced when heat is applied in the form of cooking.<br />
<br />
You can also juice some of the like beets, spinach, celery and kale.<br />
<br />
Here's the list:<br />

Hello fellow Gardners!<br />
<br />
If you're into Square Foot Gardening here is a simple tool (chart) that you can use to help you plant that beautiful garden. For example this chart takes the guess work out of many heirloom green peppers, tomatoes, egg plant, squash, cucumbers etc to plant. Now you just have to figure out the benefits of companion gardening as well. Much Success! <br />

Planting in plastic bottles just makes sense. Plastic bottles are space savers. You can hang them and we even show you how to in the picture below:<br />
<br />

<br />
You can plant flowers, vegetables such as lettuce, onions, radishes etc., like the ones in the below picture:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As you can see we are using pop/soda bottles and water bottles. Instead of throwing them out why not grow something delicious inside of them?<br />
<br />
You can even use milk jugs to garden in. It's about imagination and creativity. Run a wooden stick through the handles and hang the entire set-up somewhere and make a dull location become full of life and beauty.<br />

We advocate recycling and using these materials to grow your own food. It is so simple to cut water bottles (that don't contain BPA) in them and reuse them for growing food. <br />
<br />
The above picture demonstrates how just how easy it is to grow something as simple as lettuce in container. Just call it container gardening!<br />

You can do this in limited spaces, even on balconies and apartments. What do you think about this idea? Are you already doing it or know of someone who is doing container gardening?<br />
<br />
Don't be scared to get your hands dirty!<br />

<h2>
Pallet Gardening</h2>
<br />
Just because you might be living in an apartment doesn't mean you still can't grown a decent "Small Space Garden". If fact quite the opposite in my opinion.<br />
<br />
Sure viable planting space may be a challenge, but it's not reason why you or anyone else for that matter can't have some type of garden even on your balcony if you have one. Using pallets is so convenient and affordable.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzoI_Z-U3nfDCMpBY8envW1un1lGFmgmL9LsUergUGm1FS3r-I7x9fZxSahLciUVCL5d6bgJdDLk-r9GoN0tTtGOm3D47FWlaw5DSlS-tA1Pi_Gh5TtQKcY8R9ZMaNVEjQfiUqbjy6kQ1b/s1600/032511_Pallet-Completed-430x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzoI_Z-U3nfDCMpBY8envW1un1lGFmgmL9LsUergUGm1FS3r-I7x9fZxSahLciUVCL5d6bgJdDLk-r9GoN0tTtGOm3D47FWlaw5DSlS-tA1Pi_Gh5TtQKcY8R9ZMaNVEjQfiUqbjy6kQ1b/s1600/032511_Pallet-Completed-430x300.jpg" height="277" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Most pallets will fit perfectly on most people's balconies. They don't require much space and you can grow many types of herbs and even add flowers to brighten up your living space. <br />
<br />
For this project, you’ll need the pallet you found, 2 large bags of
potting soil, tube of plastic, and two six packs per opening on the top of
the completed pallet garden), a small roll of landscape fabric, a staple
gun, staples, and sand paper.<br />
<br />
Staple down the landscape fabric your staple gun. You only need to staple the back and both sides leaving the front opened.<br />

This part can become a little messy. However, open up your potting soil and fill the pallet with it. Leave a little space so you can add your plants. You'll do this with the pallet laying down. Here you can add any type of plants or even flowers. When you’re done planting, you should have plants that are completely
covering every opening (i.e. there shouldn’t be any place for soil to
fall out). There should also be soil firmly pushed into every part of
the pallet where there aren’t plants.<br />

<h3>
Caring For your Pallet</h3>
Now, I’m going to tell you what you<i> </i>should do as well. Leave the pallet flat on the ground for a couple of
weeks (watering when needed) this will allow the roots of your plants to start to grow in and
hold all the plants in place.<br />
<br />
After a couple of weeks the roots will allow the soil to stick in place somewhat. When watering in this process, tilt the pallet a little and water away. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
Use your imagination and let us know how yours pallet garden project turns out. We would love to post your pictures.<br />
<br />
Happy gardening! <br />

by relaxing the muscles around the arteries and allowing vessels to
dilate. The calcium, magnesium, and potassium in celery also helps
regulate blood pressure. Yes, Calcium helps to regulate blood pressure.<br />

To harvest dill seeds, You'll need to cut the plants BEFORE the seed heads turns dark brown, because after that the Heirloom Dill seeds will begin to fall to the ground.<br />
<br />

Tie in bunches an hang in a airy but shay place. Have something underneath the Dill Seeds to catch the seeds that drop or just lay them on a clean paper. when the heads are dry, shell off the seeds and store in a covered glass jar or fold up stalks and all in your paper (they'll keep fine). One school of thought says the Dill seeds are better dried off the head; I can't tell the difference. You can also freeze dill or grow it in a kitchen pot through the winter.</div>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Flu Protocol</span></h2>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://www.myheirloomseeds.com/">
<img border="0" src="http://www.myheirloomseeds.com/images/myheirloomseeds_banner1.gif" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />At the first sign of a flu (sneezing, elevated temperature, muscle and joint aches, coughing, etc.) this is what I do.<br /><br />I spray my nose with colloidal silver (10ppm.) I do this often and continue until I am well. I also take colloidal silver internally. I find sipping as much as I can at the beginning often stops the process. I cannot, by law, prescribe amounts, but you can do a little research and decide on what level is good for you. I use 10ppm.<br /><br />How does the silver work? Scientists tell us, after close observation of live blood, that the silver particles are attracted to ALL single celled organisms. They go right for the nucleus and attach themselves. About thirty seconds later the organism dies. It is important to note that we have good bacteria in our mouths, gut, etc. so taking colloidal everyday, all the time is probably not a good idea.<br /><br />This next remedy might not sound very high tech or exciting, but, believe me, it is powerful.<br /><br />I make a broth and freeze it. You will not feel like gathering the ingredients and cooking the broth when you are sick.<br /><br />In a gallon of distilled water: (use organic vegetables if possible)<br /><br /> 1.8-10-cloves of garlic, chopped<br /><br /> 2. 2-3 yellow onions, chopped<br /><br /> 3. 5-7 carrots, chopped<br /><br /> 4. 5-7 stalks of celery<br /><br /> 5. a handful of parsley <br /><br /> 6. 2-3 inches of ginger root, chopped<br /><br /> 7. cayenne pepper to toleration<br /><br /> 8. sea salt or “real” salt<br /><br /> 9. about a teaspoon of curry, more if you want it<br /><br />I bring this broth to a boil, then simmer for about forty-five minutes. I keep some of the broth with the solids and some I strain.<br /><br />When you are really feeling poorly, the strained broth will be the best. It will hydrate you and deliver essential medicines to your body. There are many healing components in this mix, too many to list. Garlic, alone, would take up a page. <br /><br />As you begin to feel better and gain an appetite, the broth with the solids will continue the healing work.<br /><br />I also take extra vitamin C, and Echinacea extract.<br /><br />Often the respiratory system is deeply compromised. For the nose, I spray the colloidal silver. Sometimes I irrigate with a mild sea salt dilution (Neti pot, or small blue bulb.) If my throat is raw, I gargle deeply with a one-to one mixture of hydrogen peroxide and warm water. Never gargle with straight peroxide as it may burn your tissue.<br /><br />If the lungs are congested, tea tree oils inhales are very helpful. I put two-three drops in a mug, pour rapidly boiling water to the top, cup my hands around, sniff, then deeply inhale until all of the steam is gone. Pour the mixture down the drain…NEVER ingest tea tree oil.<br /><br />If your fever is too high, a warm wash cloth placed along the spine can bring it down. However, virus can be killed by heat. It is the body’s natural response to any viral invasion, so a fever can actually assist the healing process if it isn’t too high for too long.<br /><br />White Willow Bark is aspirin in its original, natural form. It doesn’t produce the contraindications of the pharmaceutical copy. I take it for any aches and pains that accompany the “flu.”<br /><br />Remember the old advice about drinking a lot of liquids…still holds true. I use the broth as much as I can.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">If what we are told is true, that this “flu” will be back in the fall, then now is the time to organize your remedies.<br /><br />Please note, there are other natural remedies out there that people use and swear by. By all means, do what works for you. This protocol is what I find works best for me and I hope it has given you some direction.<br /><br />Good Health to all. </span><br />

Celery is self-fertile, inspect-pollinated biennial. It will cross with celeria or other celeries. In cold zones, choose your plants in the fall. Dig them out being careful not to harm the roots. Replant them in dirt in something you can keep in a root cellar, the above-ground part mulched with stra<span style="font-size: small;">w</span>.<br />

In warm zones, plant for seed in July and transplant in January. Set out 2 feet apart because second-year growth get high an wide. Later come tiny white blooms; still later, brown seeds. <br />
<br />
To avoid loss on the ground, shake the top heads (which mature seed first) into a bag once in a while. Cut and dry on cloth or paper.<br />

Onions produce seed by putting up one slender stalk that flowers and then makes seed. If you want your onions to keep putting their energy into making bulbs rather than diverting it to making seed just snap the flower stems off when they start to make flowers. <br />

Onion pollen carried by insects; you can't have pure breed seed unless you grown only one kind have only one kind flowering at a time, or keep your different kinds quite separate. On the other hand, if they do cross, the results will be edible and may have hybrid vigor! <br />
<br />
Onion are biennial if you're going from seed to set and then from set to bulb. You save good bulbs from the plants you choose to be parents (your sets) and set them out the next spring. To keep seed-making plants from losing your onion seed by scattering before it is ripe on the plant, fasten a paper bag over the seed head with a rubber band. Then you can harvest seed, bag and all, when you're ready. But first give the insects a chance to do their job completely. Or you can gather your onion seed a little earlier and finish drying on a newspaper.<br />

Getting them too dry by artificial heating will kill them too. They are one of the shortest-lived seed unless conditions are just right.<br />

<h1 align="center">
How To Germinate Heirloom Seeds </h1>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step #1:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: medium;">We first start our <a href="http://www.myheirloomseeds.com/" target="_blank">Heirloom seeds</a> using egg cartons. So
if you've been throwing them away, now you have a reason to keep them. You
can add a little dirt in the tray BEFORE placing the seed inside. We
personally put approximately 2 or 3 Heirloom seeds per hole in the egg carton
tray. However you can place as many seeds as you would like to grow.
Below is a picture of step #1. Our Heirloom Seeds have a high germination rate because they are sold fresh.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div align="center">
<img border="0" height="480" src="http://www.myheirloomseeds.com/images/IMG_4867.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step #2</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">After adding our Heirloom Seeds fill in the rest of the holes with dirt. Then add a label to the carton with the contents of the tray.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div align="center">
<img border="0" height="480" src="http://www.myheirloomseeds.com/images/IMG_4872.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step # 3</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: medium;">Once we've have added the dirt we then plastic wrap to the egg
cartons to create a mini green house effect. You don't have to use this method but
we've had excellent results from this method. You then apply several holes
to let air circulate in and out of the egg carton. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div align="center">
<img border="0" height="480" src="http://www.myheirloomseeds.com/images/IMG_4874.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Step #4</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">You then place your eggs carton out in the sun (weather
permitting) or you can place them in a room were the temperature is at least 70
degrees Fahrenheit. Your seeds should start germinating in about 7-10 days
depending on the type of seeds you are planting.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">Here is a tip:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">You can increase the success in terms of high germination by soaking your seeds for 2-4 hours before planting. Some seeds like peas, green beans, string beans will greatly benefit from this. If you want to increase the effectiveness of this soak them in our <a href="http://myheirloomseeds.com/bloomin_minerals" target="_blank">Bloomin Minerals</a> as before planting instead of plain old water. The Bloomin Minerals will make have a positive effect on your yield of your garden and you will be the envy of your neighbors. Turn your <b>"Black Thumb"</b> into a <b><span style="color: #38761d;">"</span></b><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Green thumb"</b></span> with Bloomin Minerals.</span><br />

roots that easily cross with many other bassicas; turnip, radish, rape, mustard,

<span style="font-family: Arial;">You're safe from crossing only if your seed bearers are not within 1/4 mile of
any of those related plants while both are flowering. But the problem the
first year is to get the parent plant through the winter. In the coldest
zones, dig and store the root, and then replant the next spring. </span><br />

The skin will become hard, almost like a gourd. Then it's finally ready. You can store the hard brown fruits in a cool place for as long as a several weeks at this stage. That enables you to wait until all your seed cukes are ready and then process them all at once.<br />
<br />

Spoon out the seed together with the surrounding pulp into a nonmetal container (glass or crockery). Let seeds and pulp sit and ferment at room temperature, stirring twice a day. After 2 to 4 days the jellylike pulp that had been clinging around the seeds will change into a think liquid that lets them go. It's ready for the next step when most of the seeds are at the bottom of the dish and the liquid above is pretty much clear. Don't worry about the seed that are still floating. They are doing that because they're hollow, no good and wouldn't grow any way. Skim and dump those seeds. Don't get in a rush and skip this fermenting process because it destroys seed-born disease--a very important step in saving cucumber seeds.<br />
<br />
<b>Rising and Drying Cucumber seeds:</b> Finish the seeds by filling your container with cool water, letting the seeds setting to the bottom and pouring off what's left. Do that several times. Now spread out the seeds to dry, no more than 1 layer deep, in a place like a sunny window. Don't use artificial heat like a oven or a heat lamp, that could hurt or kill them. Figure on at least 2 days for them to dry, and then you can store.<br />

It's a long time until next spring or the spring after that, and you're may to forget if you don't record it. Store seed in a cold, dry place. Don't panic if they freeze. If the seeds is dry, freezing not only won't hurt but may even improve the crop. Our Cucumber Heirloom Seeds can easily germinate for 10 years or more.<br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Carrots are insect-pollinated biennials that will cross
with other varieties and with wild carrots. So it is very hard to get pure
seed where wild carrots (Queens Anne's Lace, etc) grow or within a mile of other
flowering carrots. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Crossing with wild carrots will results in whitish,
fiber, non-sweet roots. You have to over winter your prospective parents.
Choose your best plants and mark them. In the fall break or twist off the
tops leave only about a inch of green stem. Store those buried under the
ground deep enough so they won't freeze. Mark your spot. In the
spring set them out in rows, with the crowns level with the ground, and off
they'll go again. </span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOkZTKAVD9MV_N0FXObGFcCccbrZBzOhLBpOjj1LfQtjwiPBs3Jk04nVt6J8ux3tvx43e8ye2fT1-MeCeVxldh25bdPSY2eXeaWpTj0-MnBpsSxYUbWRhBEmMQZTwmADu8uAxXU0R9l8PI/s1600/carrots.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOkZTKAVD9MV_N0FXObGFcCccbrZBzOhLBpOjj1LfQtjwiPBs3Jk04nVt6J8ux3tvx43e8ye2fT1-MeCeVxldh25bdPSY2eXeaWpTj0-MnBpsSxYUbWRhBEmMQZTwmADu8uAxXU0R9l8PI/s200/carrots.jpg" height="167" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The second year they become inedible because they send all
the food out of the root in the seed stalk, and the root gets woody. The
seeds don't come or ripen all at once. First they come on the main stem
and then on the branches. Wait until the greenish color disappears from
the seeds and the branches they hang from. then cut the stalks, air -dry
further, rub out the seed by hand and screen. Sift or winnow there, rub
out the seed by hand and screen. Sift or winnow out the sticks, etc. A
dozen carrot plants would probably give enough seed for your family. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Our Heirloom Seeds will stay healthy and germinate at least 7 to 10 years when stored correctly.</span></div>

Learn how to store our Heirloom Seeds in a Survivalist, Prepper or Disaster situation. Many Survivalist and Preppers prep or safe food for various reasons. A wise person like the Prophet Joseph knew the value of saving seeds, and grains for the 7 lean years. It will be wise if you did the same.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sometimes it's for prepping for a disaster or what some people involved in Preparedness believe to be TEOTWAWK (Then End Of The World As We Know It). Whatever the reason, we're going to show you "How to Store Heirloom Seeds that will last for 20+ years!"<br />

Instructions (In case you haven't already figured it out).<br />
<br />
1. Cut your PVC pipe to the length that you want. <br />
2. On one end add the PVC primer, let it dry and then add glue. Before the glue dries place the PVC cap on. <br />
3. Add 1/2 of the Oxygen Absorbers to the PVC pipe.<br />
4. Add our Heirloom Seeds.<br />
5. On the other end follow step #2 again.<br />
6. You're done.<br />
<br />
Now the fun begins. <br />
<br />
Go hide and/or bury the "Time capsule" (don't forget where you've buried it). This is were your survivalist/prepper skills come in. <br />
