    • It's magnesium sulphate:
    Feed some to your lemon tree,
    soak your feet to absorb magnesium.
    Have an epsom salts bath.

    "This principle is most certain: The non-Christian cannot in any way be Pope. The reason for this is that he cannot be head of what he is not a member. Now, he who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian, as is clearly taught by St. Cyprian, St. Athanasius, St. Augustine, St. Jerome, and others. Therefore, the manifest heretic cannot be Pope." -- St. Robert Bellarmine

    • It's an excellent vegetable fertilizer. Sprinkle a couple tablespoons around the base of the plant and water it so it will soak into the soil where the roots can take it up.

    Wonderful! The vines are loaded! I've only had a few ripe ones so far. I'm so impatient, I want them all to be ripe right now.

    • The best varieties take longer to ripen!

    I thought maybe in Kansas they'd be ready a couple weeks earlier than here.

    .


    Yes, it's torture! My heirloom varieties are way behind the other ones. I watch them eagerly each day and their growth is hardly notable. Then I tell myself how wonderful and gratifying it will be when I get to pick them. Those thoughts make the wait at least a bit more bearable.

    I don't know, Kansas is more dry than where you are at, so I think they would be behind. Especially this year. The drought is terrible.

    • In a hot compress for bringing abscesses to a head, especially those interdigital foot abscesses sheep sometimes get.

    • Lemon trees.. didn't know about that one..  :)

    Goes to show, don't necessarily throw out the wash water. Never know what something can be used for.

    •  :sleep:
    If I can't sleep, I go soak in a hot tub of Epsom salts.  It's good for cases of "nerves."   It also relieves muscle aches, soothes bug bites, cuts, bruises.  A little lavender oil added to the mixture is great.
