 I was trying to find out if anybody made mustard sauce from garlic mustard before. I never made mustard before. Has anybody made some before from the regular greens? Which ingredients I need to make my mustard healthier? Thanks!

Understand the situation about the dead nettle, though I'd like to try some with soup or salad. You tried some in tea or medicine? If have, then what's your experience with them?

Could we add mulch to our hugelkultur for enrichment of soil and the organisms that benefit from the material we added to it? How do the lasagna layer and logs work under that pile of dirt to speed up the moisture that sponge its way to the roots of our crops for better growth and health?

How we create suitable areas for kestrels in our backyard? Which areas of our backyards we place our nest boxes for kestrels to protect them from human interference and predators such as stray cats?

Good example of the Otto corn which used to be grown by Native Americans in New England before it has been brought by Italian settlers centuries ago. Any stories of its comeback in New England as a true heirloom? I'm doing the same for my Potawatomi crops and stuff in Chicago to help everybody remember their true past and the stories that come with them. Example I'm growing some Potawatomi Lima and Ohio pole beans which used to belong to the Miami and Potawatomi people and they still grow those today in Michigan and Indiana. You hear of the Irish potato famine of the 1800s? The Lumper, which was tied to that time was almost wiped out due to the disease and have you heard of the potato before? If there any Irish folks following Permies before, please drop by and share your ancestors experiences with crops grown by your people in your homeland and in the diaspora especially in America today. As I told you all I have a late grandfather who died in 2013 or 2014 from my dad's side who has Irish ancestry in his blood. I'm doing all I can to find more Irish crops whether in Ireland or with families and ancestors in the diaspora so I can bring back memories of my grandpa's past to carry me on to this day. Good night!

That's understandable. I'm doing my best to grow the current varieties originally from the original owners who grew them centuries or decades ago, them return them back to their ancestors and their families who are still alive today and know plenty about them. Anybody growing some of ancient stuff today in Ireland and Sweden? One of the varieties I'm looking for is the Gortahork cabbage and anybody heard of that type before? It's gigantic and close to tasting very sweet and it's found only in Ireland by Irish Seed Savers. Anybody know anybody from that organization who grows many Irish varieties? And is there anybody else in the world who grows the cabbage and other Irish types? Thanks!

I'm from an urban area and like to find out how we create habitat for hawks, owls and kestrels in our backyards regardless of size. Any plants to attract them besides trees? Any ones in mind besides the pines and couple of others? I'm looking for stuff that matures quickly for nesting and shelter in a few years. Take care!

Good evening! I wanna find out how I use dead nettle for tea or medicine. I recently harvested some today at my community farm. This is new to me. Most folks considered all weeds invasive, but it's not true. Please shoot me back if you need me. Good night!

Very yummy! Could we add those to lasagna or spaghetti? Could garlic mustard be regular mustard of its own?

My soil is full of slag and few rocks right now almost all sandy. How do hugelkultur react to urban soil? And do we need another layer of new soil in case if the soil is too contaminated to use? Thanks!
