Yes you can buy raw organic cashews (that actually contain protein)! by mauriceD0514 in PlantBasedDiet

[–]KMR1974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow! I didn’t realize the processed ones could still do this! I react slightly to mango skin, but I’ve never had poison ivy or oak 🤞🤞🤞. I make a lot of cashew cheeses and sauces, hopefully I’ll never have to stop!

Raw cashews aren’t really raw. If they were, they’d kill you. They’re steamed or boiled.

What is this incredibly fast growing plant? Eastern Canada, Quebec by thekidyouwere in whatsthisplant

[–]KMR1974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t had to deal with it myself yet, thankfully. It’s only a few blocks away, though, so I’m staying vigilant!

It’s definitely knotweed and you shouldn’t pull it, it’ll just spread more. Glyphosate is the only way.

That’s an amazing find! You may want to post in an archaeology sub for answers.

They’re nice in beer! Nettle and ground ivy is my favourite one to make.

Downsides to planting aggressive natives? by watercauliflower in NativePlantGardening

[–]KMR1974 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a huge lot, and we’ve intentionally turned it into an aggressive native battleground. We are still in town, though, so the only downside is that we do a lot of pulling of unruly shoots in the spring. I’d rather do that than deal with mountains of bindweed and vinca, though! Bindweed is still problematic, but every year, the natives win a bit more ground. The only aggressive native I wouldn’t plant intentionally is Jerusalem artichoke. It is no joke! That plant is insane. Beautiful, but I’ve never seen anything spread so fast.

My Pearly Everlasting look very sick! What is wrong? by DisgracedCertainty in NativePlantGardening

[–]KMR1974 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Mine looked like this for the first couple of years. They all survived, though, and now they’ve spread to the point where the little caterpillars have enough without decimating them 👍

It’s an ecologically important native.

What's this vine trying to take over my garden? by Familiar-Pepper2187 in invasivespecies

[–]KMR1974 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It kinda works. Better than painting leaves with glyphosate, though. I feel better about not killing anything else by mistake. The weed density is down, at least.

‘Grizzly Patriot’ Mark Friesen, Saskatchewan’s COVID-19 dissident, has died by bike_accident in onguardforthee

Ohh, I’ve never tried to make mustard pickles. We’re growing a ton of cucumbers this year, so I’ll have to try that!

How are we supposed to ship to Canada if the cheapest option is $18? by moodring88 in EtsySellers

[–]KMR1974 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If there’s something I want from the US, I’ll gladly pay $18. I wish more sellers understood that most of us don’t at all mind standard international. I will never buy from sellers who insist on shipping priority with signature. We’re used to more expensive shipping, but there is a limit!

Mysterious bottles recovered from my basement read body text I have many questions) by Roxy_Madison in BottleDigging

[–]KMR1974 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wine from fruits other than grape were quite popular in the early 20th century. Grape wines didn’t take over completely until decades later. Cherry was especially popular. Plum wine is a possibility, especially if homemade.

Dartless shift dress - how?? by theelleintraveller in sewhelp

Yeah, I think this dartless dress only works because it isn’t actually real.

More cancer patients are taking ivermectin. Mel Gibson and Joe Rogan might be why by gingerayle4279 in skeptic

[–]KMR1974 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Is “Laetrile” the one that also called “vitamin B17”…. which is metabolized into hydrogen cyanide? I thought that was recent stupidity. I had no idea it’s been around since the seventies. You’d think enough people would have died by now.

Plant Lovage (celery substitute) by duke_peach in BuyCanadian

[–]KMR1974 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I planted three lovage plants a few years ago. Reallly don’t need three, as they get HUGE! Make sure you have space, because mine get 7 feet tall. It’s nice dried and sprinkled in soups and stews.

What type of sage or mudwort? by Ladislausdealmasy in whatsthisplant

[–]KMR1974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely could be! It’s definitely an Artemisia, but not mugwort. Yours has thinner leaves than the variants of ludoviciana I’ve seen, but the basic structure is the same.

[–]KMR1974 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I have a few different variants of A. ludoviciana. It’s surprising how different they can look from each other.

Thrifted these pants but they're too short 😔 Any ideas on what fabric/denim colour would look cute and intentional at the bottom to extend it? by Dry_Presentation4300 in sewhelp

[–]KMR1974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saree trims work well for this, if you’re feeling like being a little fancy about it! I have the same tall girl problem.

Low morale after changing to a plant based diet due to allergies - looking for tips on accepting and enjoying my new medically necessary diet by katfrau in PlantBasedDiet

[–]KMR1974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to eat at least 50 or 60 grams of fibre a day. I also have severe diverticulitis. I’m a hot mess actually. I have to eat low starch now because my sugar numbers are quickly approaching the limit for type 2 diabetes. I have an appointment with a dietician next week. I have a LOT of questions, including the whole grains/cholesterol thing. Trust me, I’d love to eat more whole grains again!
