Today, November 11th, I shall be sowing Poppy seeds in memory of those who gave their lives for us.

Flanders poppy seeds can be sown in Sept/October so Nov 11th is only a bit too late!
I'll be sowing other poppies too as I love poppies but don't have much luck growing them. Maybe this year?

Just read an artical about human bodies being composted, this is allowed in Washington State, in America, environmentally not such a bad idea, but possibly like everything else there would be different finished quility of compost, evedently I would be of a greater quantity than the likes of some forum members (no names) and more than likely, quality as well Big Grin after all I undoubtedly have more??? relaxed muscle :rolleyes : to feed the microbes with, but if you went that way what would you like to provide feeding for, personally I would like to think I would be good for a beech tree, which grows into a lovely strong tree and of course holds on to its leaves, which sort of reminds me of something just not sure what Rolleyes

Sleep tight my beautiful MarleyCat.  He battled a chronic mouth problem for last 18 months, had all his teeth removed last summer, but as never fully recovered. I handreared his litter from just under 24 hours old. He nearly died 3 times, lost 2 sibling as the litter had panleukemia, and was shot in jaw.

No more pain and Metacam for you.  We loved you from a day old, and letting you go is the last gift we can give you. Forever in my heart, just 3 years an 3 months old.

  Seasoned Salt mixes
Posted by: Veggie - 09-11-2020, 02:38 PM - Replies (13)

I'm a fan of herb flavoured salt - basically dried herbs and salt crystals in a grinder, although I've never made them myself.  Blush Great on chips. Wink

I'm about to start one with seaweed!! The ingredients are:-
Sea salt, Nori, Sea lettuce, oregano, Parsley, Celery, Basil, Thyme, lemon grass, pepper, Mustard, Coriander, Onion, Garlic, Poppy seeds, Bay, Chilli, Mint, Herb flowers.

So many ingredients you can add - and the more you add, the less salt you use.

A suggestion for SC, in particular - have you made Chilli Salt? Maybe a new line for your "shop" especially if you could find local sea salt. Recipes at https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/chili...lt-blends/
