• Sweetness. That sounds awesome. I'm totally going to get some seeds right away and do that. Thanks for your knowledge. I have another question. Is it alright to plant green beans this time of year? I heard that you can do them all through the summer…

• So you're saying I could plant radishes all summer? My lettuce has bolted and I was wondering what to do with that bed. Would it work to plant radishes there?

• sasuaria-I totally understand what you mean. I try to keep some flowers going but my true passion is growing produce. Just as yours is growing flowers. I have limited space so I have to choose what to put and I never have enough space for my veggies…

• Hey Rubber Duck! Glad you're getting stuff out of this thread! I love talking about gardening. Tell me if you have luck with your avocados. I'm awaiting mine with great patience. It's exciting to try a new technique. I LOVE HOME GROWN TOMATOES!

• Wonderful! I'm definitely going to sprout my avo seeds that way. The whole tooth pick in the cup thing isn't workin' out for me at all. Thanks for the tip! 1000 acres! I'm jealous! That's an insane amount of land these days. I wish I had more land b…

• wow, good tip on the slug issue. I haven't had a problem with them this year but they're everywhere around my house. You're growing so many things I'm not! Where do you live? I think your climate is different. I've been trying to sprout avocados for…

• For crunchy I toss very thinly sliced sweet potatoes in olive oil and sea salt and dehydrate for twelve hours. They get crunchy, they're salty and they taste amazing

  in Combating cravings Comment by troublesjustabubble
• I agree with superfood. Also, instead of making it a culture issue just make it a health and wellness issue. Instead of saying "oh I only eat raw food"(that tends to make people feel like you're judging their lifestyle) just say "well this food actu…

• mmmmmm, green smoothies. I love them. I started out just using spinach and strawberries and bananas with honey. Now I don't use honey and I add all kinds of fruits with it. The only ingredient I make sure to have is the bananas because they make it …

• haha, no prob guys. I've found since going raw that the types of alcohol that bothered me alot before going raw (hard liquor, red wine) bother me the least now and the things I didn't have a problem with before (beer, white wine) now are the worst. …

  in Alcohol Comment by troublesjustabubble
• I'm raw and on occasion I drink alcohol. Not as often as I did when I ate cooked food. It affects me alot more, even beer but I'd say if you enjoy beer than have it! Just know that it will slow your health progress down and who knows, maybe in time …

• Okay, this isn't an easy situation but basically what will kill your cravings and 'munchies' for good is just letting the cravings come and act like you're doing a cleanse. I swear, in three weeks you won't want that stuff. but you just have to buck…

  in Best Tip For Staying 100% Raw Comment by troublesjustabubble
• Abbie! It took me three weeks of solid cravings to start loving raw food but once I did I can't tell you how amazing it was. It's hard to break the habit of junk food and don't expect it to be easy but it's awesome once you do. Keep pluggin' away! W…

• Naturally raw vegans would get more vitamins and minerals so it's hilarious that everyone thinks we're not getting enough........I understand about vitamin B-12 but many omni's are deficient in that too so they can't blame us! Besides we're consciou…

  in Coconut oil isn't raw? Comment by troublesjustabubble
• I can't remember the name but there is a family owned company that do have actually raw coconut oil. Just google raw, unheated coconut oil and it'll probably come up.

• mmm, I do drink herbal tea and I keep it to my garden using things like mints and lemon verbena or pineapple sage. Theyr'e wonderful!

• that's corn for ya......not the best food to eat. Though raw corn is super tasty.

  in Couple more questions Comment by troublesjustabubble
• raw garlic is best used in moderation and as far as raw corn goes, I don't know much about it but it is considered a grain and grains are very dangerous for our bodies so I'd use that in moderation as well.

  in Salt and Pepper Comment by troublesjustabubble
• I disagree with your logic kelly. There are many things in a diet that should be eaten in moderation.......avocados, mango etc. I can't eat a ton of avocados because they're really rich so I eat them in moderation.....mangoes are very sweet so I can…
