I thought I had taken photos of my fingernails when they were peeling and short and always breaking off. If I find it, I will post it. Today's post is a bit different to homesteading, but somewhat related (as to the food I've been eating).
First I tried the nettle/oat straw nutritional tea infusion. Nothing really changed on my nails. However, in a year's time, my dentist visits have been nothing but good as far as build up. They would say over and over, "I can't believe how well your teeth look" etc etc. Could that be the herbal tea drinking? Most of them have antiseptic and anti-bacterial qualities.
About 12 weeks (or more) ago, I started adding more greens into our diet. I read that folate is important to skin, nail and hair growth and health. Well, I now get greens twice a day, and at least 3-4 times a week, not including green vegetables at dinner. I increased the amount of broccoli, brussel sprouts and leafy greens in our diet.

Late Planting ~ Tidbits Updated
I'm still planting and it's June 8th. It has been oddly cooler here the last few days as well. I just got the collards and kale in yesterday, along with the peanuts. I am not finished either. It just feels weird to be planting this late. With Hubby working such long hours, big jobs lurk. Patience, patience, patience.
Last year's parsley re-seeded on it's own, but not enough. I had to plant more, along with basil. I see the chard seeds are sprouting, but not my new lavender seeds (yet).
While out planting, I noticed a few bell peppers are on! I'm pretty happy to have gotten the popcorn in before the rain. The popcorn is up! Most of the pinto beans also. I am so praying for a good year. My romaine plants are not growing real fast, and I am hankering for summer salads. And all of the shell peas are up.
I'm almost done planting. Almost.
