@Likewise Great advice ! I am down that road too: low carb chocoholic (now moving on to cocoa nibs) with 6 hours of feed window 5 days a week.

I am 58 years old and insulin resistant. The above nutritional changes plus 40 min of strenght/cardio training every other day, have given me a new lease on life.

My own two bits: walnuts, pecanas, macadamias and avocado provide a lot of healty fats and Omega3/6 balance. When taken at the end of the feeding window, they make the 18 hr fast a piece of... err meatpie 🙄 !

I also make my own cannabinoid extracts. Non psychotropic ones such as cannabinol CBN (main CB2 receptor agonist) and CBD from flower (no hemp) help regulate blood sugar, stabilize mood and protect my liver, spleen colon and pancreas.

Gladly surprised to find your testimony as health does not seem to be a priority for mastodon people...

Got frost?

Since it might freeze tonight I put the lids on the plastic jars that are protecting these lettuce transplants. The jars help protect the small plants from being battered by the wind and I like to think they might help keep slugs off. The jars originally had mixed nuts and I cut the bottoms off.

Also in the pic are Walla Walla onions that were started from seed last fall and overwintered in the greenhouse before being transplanted into this raised bed.

Nach einem Monat gibt es mal wieder ein kleines Update zu meinem #CanGrow Projekt. So langsam aber sicher vervollständigt sich die v0.2, das Dashboard funktioniert schon einmal zu großen Teilen, was ein recht großer Brocken auf der ToDo Liste war :)
Es können jetzt neben den bekannten Tachometern auch Liniengraphen angezeigt werden. der #ESP speichert dabei alle halbe Stunde für max. 2 Tage die Daten im LittleFS :)

A lovely visit from a nearby Punjabi person I have met a few times. Nice to share my garden with her - perennial tulsi cuttings, annual tulsi seeds, a doddapatre cutting that has been sitting in water and has roots, some basil seeds. And goregous to chat with her 2 year old, whom I first met as a newborn baby.

I miss having foodies around me that I can share my crazy experiments and food with. Around here it is mainly English-meal-meat-and -3-veg people. Even my friends, while more adventurous with food, actually don't cook much, and so sending over pickles or ferments, or even veg or dried herbs, is a waste of time.

I think it is an Adelaide thing. Conservative.

One of this years projects was to create a raised bed high enough to avoid the dreaded carrot fly. By pure luck I was gifted this plastic tool store that is the perfect height. I have reinforced the sides to help prevent it bulging with a metal bar, secured through to the outside with a short length of oak off-cut. The lid will come off but can be put back on when empty. I do hope it works, fingers crossed for some beautiful carrots this season!
