I was wondering if the process of making decaf green tea--or white tea---causes it to lose anything in the process. Does it lose any of its antioxidants? Is the process harmful or is it beneficial? How healthy is the green tea...

Jellen Thanks for the Easter wish and for the link. I drink tea either way, but not late at night. Sleep isn't overrated.

Jellen I do more with white tea than green. White has more benefits and a smoother flavor. I like the white pear tea for flavor. Just have to keep trying different ones until you find one you like, I guess. And I started with white tea because of my diabetes. I have...

Jellen Dryer lint has so many uses. In fact, I once wrote an article about it. I made some fire starters with my dryer lint...poured melted wax onto dryer lint in an empty cardboard egg carton...let it set, harden, and I cut the egg sections apart. I presented them...

Jellen Canning is a great way to put away for winter. If you have freezer room, so is freezing. And dehydrating is one more way to preserve foods. If you don't have one, it's worth getting one or learning how to dehydrate in the stove. But that sounds like a lot to...

Jellen I hope it all works out for you. Good weather, rain at the right time, pests blocked, and lots of hands to help with the weeding, harvesting, canning, and freezing. Bartering or trading is a good plan and I hope you have neighbors, family, or friends who can...

Jellen Good luck with that farming. It's wonderful to get your hands into soil and to see the fruit of your labor. But you know as well as I do--it's going to be a lot of work.

Jellen You don't hear that every day. A worm farm. Do you sell to the public or do you just manage the worm farm for your planting interests? Thanks for the infor about saving seeds.

Jellen You might not be able to eat an aloa vera plant, but it would offer some wonderful healing advantages. Some do eat aloa vera, but I don't. Some folks also eat certain types of cacti, but I don't know much about that either. Good luck with the plant.

Jellen This sounds very interesting. I have a rather small space and I usually cluster things and end up with too much in an area. Can you really get that much out of only a few plants? Seems like the more the plants, the more the produce. But maybe that thinking has...

Jellen Ok, now I have to ask. What's the square foot gardening method all about? Maybe you could explain it. How much does it feed, how do you know your few seeds will take, and how high are your planting boxes? Do you use a special kind of soil and fertilizing...

Jellen You can also keep them down to a smaller size, just by using them. I have parsley out back that could take over whatever it is around, if not contained. I have also seen chives take over a whole area, seeds flying everywhere, plants starting everywhere. You...

Jellen Good for you. Those herbs can get so costly if they're fresh, that it pays to have a pot of them growing. I would suggest having parsley and maybe chives on the window sill. These two herbs you are apt to use for garnishes, if nothing more. They are my biggest...
