New Year and new gardening season comes and my new catalogue goes to you. It is a little shorter than usually - not for shortage of items includable (with pain in heart I striped out many names) but this summer I want to rebuild my bulb shed and it will limit my possibilities to harvest bulbs and to work with them. Last summer was very busy year. I rebuilt one of my greenhouses - it was very nervous process due shortage of workers (three teams were changed), I was forced to dig out all bulbs, to change soil - but now working in it is much more comfortable. I and my wife Guna organized for the first time “Open door days” and we had 18 visitors from Britain, arranged programm including lectures, visits of gardens, museum, nature, Opera etc. All visitors were very satisfied with visit. Sorry, this season we can’t to arrange OPEN DOOR DAYS due my lecture tour in North America and expedition plans. But I’m planning repeat such days in future, too. Last season Mrs. Kristl Walek from Canada (Gardens North – Seeds from the world) in her catalogue revealed the fact that I had been bearing in my mind an idea about a book on bulbs and my experience with them. -

Infused Herbal Vinegars
Herbal Vinegars What is Vinegar? Vinegar is a common derivative of apples or grapes. It is made using a two step fermentation process turning the liquid into alcohol, and then turning the alcohol into dilute acetic acid (4-6%). Pure, naturally fermented vinegar is non toxic, and tolerated by just about anyone. Vinegar has many health benefits: ● it contains starch, gum, and all of its starting materials’ inherent mineral salts. Vinegar made from apples is especially rich in potassium which plays a major role in human metabolism, respiration and blood conditioning, as well as nervous system vitalisation. ● It is a refrigerant, which diminishes thirst and promotes the flow of saliva ● It lowers blood glucose and so is useful for pre-diabetics ● Acetic acid improves uptake and absorption of minerals ● It is a good alternative for those who don’t take alcohol ● The ‘mother’ of the vinegar (the cloudy sediment you see at the bottom of the bottle of natural vinegars) is full of vitamins and probiotics which help regulate gut flora and promote healthy digestion ● Externally it is antiseptic and cleanses and tones the skin Naturally produced vinegars will often be sold with a label saying ‘containing “The Mother” and will have an amorphous mass floating at the bottom of the bottle. The Mother is a cloudy sediment of strand-like chains of connected protein molecules that congeal at the bottom of the bottle, which can be passed on from batch to batch as an inoculant that allows continued high quality vinegar making. Why Make A Herbal Infused Vinegar? Vinegar has a long history of use as a preservative and solvent for making herbal extracts since the day of Hippocrates. -

Use on damp skin, for example in the shower or bath, and scrub from the feet up, bringing energy toward (Rather than away from) the heart. Sugrar is a more gentle scrub option than salt. It dissolves more quickly and is therefore less abrasice. Substitute sugar for the sale in the above recipe and use on damp skin. If your skin is too wet the sugar will dissolve more quickly.
