Maintain Healthy Joints While Your Garden Grows by Dr. Jacqueline Moore Evans








The following posture pearls can be used to sustain muscle and joint integrity while creating and maintaining your garden:
•Stretching before the work to strength your body
for the work.
•Sit and rest for 10 minutes when your joints get         tired.
•Stand/shift positions after kneeling or crouching
(use knee pads).
•Straighten your back and neck after bending for
20 minutes.
•Slide or wheel barrel your mulch and fertilizer
rather than carry it.
•Support your spine/body with a soft stabilizer if
needed.
•Soak in mineral salts to soothe your body at the
end of the day.  
Finally, enjoy the fruit of your labor!” .....more

Tip Of The Day
  • Add a small amount of vinegar to a bowl or bucket of water and wash all of your garden harvest immediately, to remove any bacteria and small insects from the garden.
  • Also, wash your tools and gloves after use.  Wash them in your bowl of vinegar.

Correct (for white clothes): Don't trash the white shirt and blouses that get stained working in the garden. Get rid of the yellowing armpit and other spots. How?  Mix 1 part water, 1 part baking soda and 1 part hydrogen peroxide in a container.  Apply the paste to the yellowed blotches with a soft toothbrush. Let it sit for about 25 minutes before washing as usual. Third, accept that you've become your mother.  http://www.ontheglam.com/2010/04/problem-perpetual-pitstains.html

Guacamole is another fantastic way to use harvest from your garden; onions, tomatoes, garlic, cilantro, and lemons.  I planted an avocodo tree this summer, it will take a while but will be worth it. My lemon tree starting producing lemons in about 3 years and they are great!  You can do this too.
