Karen,

Thanks for the kind comments. I’m happy to hear that you have learned some useful information from Ready Nutrition. You definately want to make sure you have some heirloom variety herbs as well. You can never have too many seeds, in my opinion. I have even started buying some non-heirloom varieties to have just in case we need emergency vegetables and such. Also, since you are sheltering-in-place, consider having a cache buried along your evacuation route that has some seeds inside it. Ensure that you have a water proof container and have survival contents in the container too. It’s always good to have back-ups for your back-ups!

Thanks again for the comment.

You have posted so much wonderful information on your site; it has really been a blessing, especially for us “newbies”!
I’ve learned that your vegetable garden seeds should be heirloom so that they continue to bear seeds. Is there any similar concerns for herb seeds? (While I intend to plant where we live now, if circumstances would ever force us to relocate, I’d like to be able to have herb and vegetable seeds to take along.)

Donna,

Thank you so much for your kind words, and I am so happy to hear the bread recipe works for you. My kids love this bread recipe.

Tea tree oil is amazing and has so many purposes. I did a simple search using “buy tea tree plant” and found a long list of possible companies that could help you.

I would like to add tea tree to my garden. I can’t find it. Where do you purchase this?

Thank you for all of the many informative articles – seeds, gardening, storage, recipes, etc.! I have learned so much and am sharing your information with others.

I tried your bread recipe. It is easy to make and tastes very good!

Thank you again. God bless you! Hope you have a great day!

sincerely,
Donna

I have heard of instances where slippery elm and saffron tea have alleviated the redness and itching of psoriasis within a week or two of drinking the tea. The taste is not the best, but many swear by this natural remedy. Good luck.
