Now, I just ordered seeds for atomic red carrots along with purple carrots (what is it with the color purple and vegetables with me?). I wanted to order the yellow carrots but they were out of stock. And I get to grow catnip, but I will have to keep it on the balcony because of the neighborhood cats who like my back yard. I wonder if they will be able to climb on the balcony? Also golden beets are cool too. The more colorful the vegetables, the more nourishment they will give us, or at least that is what I have heard.
But the best part is that I actually found seeds for soursop, also known as graviola, and have planted them already. Soursop is supposed to be 1000s of times more potent than chemo for killing cancer. I also found the seeds to yellow mangosteen, which I have heard also can help protect against cancer. I hope that it is the same ones that do protect us from cancer. I'm sure the nourishment will be good anyway. But I also found Wolfberry seeds, which are also known as 'goji berries' which are grown in the Himalayas and are extremely nourishing. Now to hope and pray that the plants will grow and do well (and will not be destroyed by the cats!).
Speaking of cats, I want to grow my own catnip to make the cat toys with. But, I have even a better idea. Now I can grow my own cotton as well. I use cotton to stuff the toys with along with the catnip.
I will have to prepare the plants for the cold weather. In the past, I have not done well with this and one time I lost a lot of papaya plants (that had nice papayas growing on them) due to a freeze. They were too tall for me to reach to place something over them, and they died. It was terrible. I want to make some type of covering for my plants and attach the covering to poles that surround the garden beds. This should be very helpful to the plants during the cold months ahead.
