Hello,
As other already said, I would scrape every result and every consultation report you could find.
There is no real organization needed. Plain chronological order is better to spot a pattern.
Then the hardest part is to find a physician who will dedicate at least one week to digest a complex file before the proper consultation ... That work is only seldom done and never a main activity where I live, as it is mostly 'pro bono' if you want to help people.
For that is is better to ask your family physician for a referral, since those kinds of consultations are usually closed to the public and nested within mutualized networks.
AI can compile - with some 'interesting' errors you will have a hard time to find - but it cannot interpret data to create new hypotheses. In my opinion the summary has to be rebuilt from scratch.
Good luck,
Oliver

Hello,
same here, the first courgette was harvested two weeks ago and first and maybe only (cherry) tomatoes around a week ago.
I will never surrender though... Like an eggplant fruiting in october.
Below the special "Halloween slimy skeleton" purple kale, both planted in may.
Nettles, plantain and goutweed are bouncing back however.
Have a nice evening,
Oliver

Hello,
I would choose land with on-site water features. Or build them as soon as possible. And the tallest and oldest trees.
Community water will be shut down when most needed.
Ponds with ample shadow 'might' last a bit longer. Especially if you manage to maintain mist (artificial bogs ?)
Big rainwater tanks - holding enough to water your veggies for your entire growth season ? Tall broadleaf trees and hedges to catch the fog and shield from the summer sun ?
So not a single raindrop will escape ...
Have a nice evening,
Oliver

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.
White and blue lupines are annuals and would not grow here at the moment ; garden lupine is perennial and is invading my meadow, as it only needs minimal watering.
I will try the soaking method on a small batch and report the results.
Have a nice day,
Oliver

Hello everyone,
This year, the only legume I have been able to grow successfully is garden lupine (Lupinus polyphyllus).
Has anyone already tried to 'debitter' their seeds for cooking ?
On PFAF they rate it as 'barely edible' owing to their alkaloid content.
I have seen recipes calling for boiling then a full week of soaking with daily water changes ?
Have a nice evening,
Oliver

And then suddenly you have Hogwarts' Whomping Willow in your garden.

Hello,
I think you capture carbon every time you chop and drop something or bury wood, be it in a hugel or as biochar.
'Undefined' source for electricity may well be gas or coal power plants.

Hello Konstantinos,
Are you planting cork oak too, Quercus suber ?
It offers other uses from its bark and edible seeds too
Or maybe it just does not grow where you are working ?
Have a nice day,
Oliver

Unfortunately we also have lots of slugs around here.
Succulents and hostas do not survive long.

Even on scorched earth some trees are growing ... Like an orange tree in Belgium ... Evolving from pines and dead cypresses to a small patch of Mediterranean maquis.
Plans had to be changed, from the usual orchard to wilder and drier conditions. Still looking for a resilient water pumping tree. Two Japanese walnuts have just sprouted under the heat dome, maybe worth a try ?

The gaze of visiting people also changes with time. From mockery to a quiet silence when they realize there is nowhere else in the neighbourhood where you have to battle butterflies and bumblebees to walk down a path and brambles bear more fruit than spines.

The land is a teacher.

Have a nice evening,
Oliver
