it's good someone found back this thread. I want to do more lacto-fermentation, since my Sauerkraut is going well ... It was much easier than I thought. Art (from the Art & Bri channel) shows it in this video: sauerkraut

Is it possible someone changes from introvert to something else (not exactly extravert)? In the past I was very shy and I always thought of the things I didn't do right. But during the years that's changed. The shyness is almost disappeared. I like being together with others now (not all others, it depends on their behaviour). I don't see myself as someone who 'did it wrong' and 'have to change' anymore. I know now all people make mistakes, do things wrong sometimes, and that isn't a problem.

Although it is much better to shade the windows from the outside (vines growing over a trellis horizontally above the window), fast growing plants indoors, in the windowsil, can give some shade too, like my beans:

I don't think anything can really replace chocolate / cacao. But maybe it's possible to use acorns? They were used in the past to replace coffee.

New spring, new plants, new photo!
Peas (the translation says this kind is called Marrowfats in English. We call them Kapucijners), Marigolds, Nigella, Malva

I am getting ready to experiment to see if they will germinate.  If so I will plant some to see what I get.

What else can I do with these seeds?

Will they make nice tasting microgreens or sprouts?

I saved seeds from homegrown squash and watermelon. Will they make nice tasty microgreens or sprouts?

Never thought of squash-sprouts! I'll try now.
I saved seeds from squashes / pumpkins, much more than I need.

Yes, I registered (only for the Free videos). This Saturday (the 14th) is the last chance

Yesterday was the 100th day of 2018, so I sowed my flax seeds.

Thank you, Redhawk, for this interesting stuff!
This is not extra-terrestrial, but intra-terrestrial!

I mentioned one ... but I have more 'sins'...
I'm in love with the Caribbean island of Curaçao. I FLY over there at least once every two years. That's 10 hours in a plane
Maybe one day it will be possible to start a living there ... but then probably I'll have to fly to the Netherlands once in a while ...
