Goji Berries

My Goji berries ( Lycium barbarum ) One of the main reasons I love gardening is for the health benefits ;)



Goji berries have purple flowers and pointy leaves

The Goji berry plant also called the Wolfberry, is a bright orange-red berry that comes from a shrub that is native to China. In Asia, goji berries have been eaten for generations in the hope of living longer. Goji berry has established itself as a very powerful potent tonic herb. Similar to the benefits you get from eating other berries, goji berries are loaded with beta-carotene (a pigment found in plants and fruits) which helps promote healthy skin. Goji berries have also been known to help boost the immune system and protect the eyes. Like other berries, goji berries are also an excellent source of vitamin C and can reduce tough cold symptoms.

The Secret Life of Plants - Hi-res

~ The Secret Life of Plants ~ Hi-res ~ ~ This is a higher resolution version of the classic and rare 1979 documentary. Even on the lower levels of life, there is a profound consciousness or awareness that bonds all things together. A fascinating account of the physical, emotional, and spiritual relations between plants and man." Essentially, the subject of the film is the idea that plants may be sentient, despite their lack of a nervous system and a brain. This sentience is observed primarily through changes in the plant's conductivity, as through a polygraph, as pioneered by Cleve Backster. The book also contains a summary of Goethe's theory of plant metamorphosis.

Water Witches in Demand in California Drought

With California in the grips of drought, farmers throughout the state are using a mysterious and some say foolhardy tool for locating underground water: dowsers, or water witches.

Planting seeds by the Moon

“The old-time gardeners say, "With the waxing of the moon, the earth exhales. " When the sap in the plants rise, the force first goes into the growth above ground. Thus, you should do all activities with plants that bear fruit above ground during a waxing moon. With the waning of the moon, the earth inhales. Then, the sap primarily goes down toward the roots. Thus, the waning moon is a good time for pruning, multiplying, fertilizing, watering, harvesting, and controlling parasites and weeds” ~ Ute York
