Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Jackie, I so envy you and others who have started and or maintain organic gardens. There is something very special when you eat food that you know the people (either yourself or others) who grow the food and the love that came from them into what you eat. It truly changes ones whole perspective of eating. This is not something I get to experience very often and feel the lack thereof. The best I can do to help myself as well as support the organic farmers is buying from these small farmers at the open air markets. Sadly, in what I have found in both myself and others is that when in crises due to a mold exposure (as with some other extensive losses and life crises) and the cascade of terrible events that result from this, life turns into a survival mode. Eating healthy, exercising, spending time outdoors, socialization and all the positive things -all go by the wayside. Life becomes a daily survival for the basic physical needs of food, shelter, clothing and then health. All that is involved in dealing with the ongoing nightmare of mycotoxin exposure is extensive and life altering. It is an uphill battle to fight our way back to some sort of normal existence and stability where the real work of recovery and healing has a chance to begin. I am finding myself having to climb back up this mountain once again. Thank goodness for message boards such as this one. The wealth of knowledge, support and the contributions of the posters here is truly a gift.

I never had a garden in my life, I just did what my dad, who was an organic gardener said to do as well as read a few books. I canned my own foods and froze my foods fresh from the garden. My garden was so huge I could not keep the weeds out but to everyone's amazement, I had the largest veggies most had ever seen! My only mistake was planting cucumbers next to watermelons! This mistake made some funny looking and nasty tasting food!! Cross pollination! I did not even have insect because I planted the plants the book said to keep bugs out. I think it was marigolds as well as herbs like dill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
