How can you tell bad herb seeds from good?
Comments (9)I looked each up and I have an herb book, several, but they give the same directions mostly accept a few, there are 5 on the list I understand in every way they couldn't have sprouted. I cold treated the hops, as was noted on the package. I really liked the smell of them too, almost like anise. I would have tried them sooner if I had known what they smelled like. The milk thistle ones say it's easy to grow them, but you describe them as picky as they seemed to be. I direct sowed them in the ground, maybe too early, but I really got nothing accept poppies, fennel, castor bean, mullein, and borage from everything I planted herb wise. The borage got top heavy and died. The poppies didn't make many seeds, and I let them drop. I was really hoping to get mint plants growing, I know spearmint sprouted in a planter, but died due to neglect of it sprouting way too late once most of everything else had been taken out of the planter, not knowing anything would still grow. I'm looking for hints like maifleur gave, that is going to help. Direct sunlight is what most of them needed because they all said the same thing on the package. I'm afraid to plant anything in fall, my garden is under leaves right now, about 67 of them I counted now, but then there were more. I still have about 30 to dump and have to clear some areas of old stalks and the privot that keeps growing wild every where. Between privot and the onslaught of walnut seedlings I'm finding, I'm getting scared. Fall planting may make the onions rot, so I'll have to start them out in flats. The lavender sounds tricky, so they sent a big package of those, I'll try again under lamp just to get some sprouted. I'll do the same for the milk thistle under lamp then put in a cool damp, but warm enough spot to get them growing. The hops and cilantro, I've read to score the seed after soaking them 24 hours, then plant, the seed is a hull of 2 seeds, so it makes sense. I'll be looking each plant and reading blogs on each until I can see proven 100 percent method. I appreciate this and I hope next year I'll be in check, have a few of each plant at least....See MoreCan Peri-Menopause Reverse?
Comments (3)Boy, can I relate to this post. I could of wrote this myself. I had an FSH of 29 two years ago, along with horrible symptoms of irregular heartbeats , extreme anxiety, Insomnia...on and on. The Doc said early Menopause, I had it retested last month, it was 4 !!!!! I had the same reaction as you... I am expecting the worst, as some of my symptoms have lessened , now I am thinking it will all start over full force. I had waited to re-test the FSH , and thought that maybe I was Post , as I have felt somewhat better with some of the symptoms... I had my Uterus removed 15 years ago, so no periods to help establish where I am in all this. I am confused as to what this all means just like you, You are the first one I have found to have the same issue, sorry for you, but a relief for me to have someone to talk to !! I am wondering if it has something to do with he Thyroid.. as I am Hypothyroid, with Hashimotos Disease. I was curious before, but now I see you have Thyroid issues also, wondering if there is a connection... the Thyroid is part of the Endocrine system like the Ovaries ... Anyways, I feel like I am rambling.. just know that you are not alone, and I hope you fee better knowing that someone else is dealing with the same craziness, I know I sure do. Peace, Rebecca...See MoreHow do you know when menopause is over/almost over?
Comments (34)Hello All, I am currently in menopause stage. I have all the symptoms listed, I had suffer over 3 years now. Recently I feel better by using DIM for stabilized my hormone naturally and using supreme royal jelly to help my sleep.

Also keep up with vitamin supplements daily. It is hard to digest all of these supplements but it will help. i hope this will be informative for everybody that have to suffer.

Comments (21)One thing to remember about sheets--as the thread count goes up, the threads get thinner. One unclipped toenail can snag and then rip some of the less expensive higher-thread count sheets. You need to look for three things in sheets. The thread count--400 and above is considered "luxury." Be aware that over 800 thread count sheets may be counting the plys (number of strands) in the individual sheet, instead of the threads themselves. So some 1200 thread count sheets are really 600 thread count--but the threads are 2 ply. The type of cotton is also important. Egyptian cotton is considered the top of the line. Turkish cotton is rapidly approaching Egyptian cotton in quality. Then there's Pima or Supmia cotton (they are the same thing with 2 different names). Then there's plain old cotton, followed by cotton/poly blends. And then all polyester sheets. Lower thread count sheets have a plain under-over weave. Higher thread count sheets tend to have a sateen weave--the top thread is carried over 4-6 strands of thread before going under again. This makes for a smoother top surface on the sheet. But the sateen weave is what makes these sheets silky--and that's what people who want a crisper sheet don't like. Those people should look for sheets with a poplin or muslin weave. When buying sheets, open the package and feel them. You'll soon feel the difference between top-quality cotton and lower. I used to sell sheets in a large department store. We had an 800 count Egyptian cotton sheet and a 1000 count regular cotton sheet. People would assume that the 1000 count sheet was "better," based solely on the thread count. But then I'd have them feel both sets of sheets--and they almost always preferred the 800 count sheet, because the cotton was softer. So it's not just thread count. Look at the fabric content. Touch the sheets. As for returns, washing the sheets didn't make them ineligible for returns. We took back sheets for months after they were purchased if there was a problem with them. Discount retailers might not, but a higher-end store--it's at least worth trying to return them....See Morehun49
