Blueberries are fussy. Jenna with Growfully, guides us in growing them in pots and containers with just the right soil mix they need to thrive.

Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen speaks to us soulfully from the Norwegian wilderness. He talks about the delirium edging us toward war. Indeed, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists says that this is a time of unprecedented danger: it is 90 seconds to midnight.

We say plant your Victory Garden; plant those fruit trees now and start your tomatoes, peppers, lettuce and kale- if you don't have a greenhouse or cold frame, a south facing window will do.

May you and family  thrive in good health, prosperity and success,

recipe image from remote site

Healthy homemade Samoas made with only four ingredients: coconut, dates, chocolate chips and coconut oil They’re also vegan and gluten-free!

Ingredients

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread the shredded coconut onto a baking sheet for toasting. Place in oven for 3-5 minutes, until coconut is a light golden brown color. Make sure to stay in the kitchen watch the coconut, as it burns really easily. Alternately, you can toast the coconut in a pan on the stove top.

  • Add dates and toasted coconut into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until mixture is combined and starts to form a ball of dough.

  • Remove from food processor, roll 1 Tablespoon size pieces of dough into a ball and then shape into a round cookie. Using a straw or chopstick punch a hole in the middle of the dough. Move the straw or chopstick around a bit to make the hole wider, if needed. At this point you’ll likely need to reshape the cookie a bit.
