Neonicotinoids: Avoid At All Costs
Never buy any plants that are treated with Neonicotinoids. Bees will take the pollen back to the hive and contaminate the entire conoly.
This is one of the main causes of the colony collapse. Neonicotinoids are banned in most European countries, but not in Amerca.
Be sure to watch out for this when purchasing plants at a shop.

White Birch
One of the easiest trees to identify, the white birch has white, papery bark that peels off in thin furls. It has small, oval-shaped and toothed leaves that have a pointed tip. The white birch (also called the paper birch) is native to the northern part of North America and is plentiful from Alaska to Maine.
White birch survival tips:
• The paper-like bark works well as a firestarter.
• The sap is sweet and drinkable.
• You can make a wintergreen-flavored tea by brewing the bark or thin branches.
• The fungus that grows almost exclusively on the white birch is excellent tinder.
• When heated over a fire, the tar extracted from the bark make a strong natural adhesive.
• You can fashion containers for food or liquids from the bark.

American Basswood
The American basswood (also called the American linden) is common to the eastern United States and often grows near creeks, streams, and ponds. Basswoods have large, toothed leaves.

Basswood Survival Tips:
• The inner fibers of basswood bark can be twisted into a sturdy rope.
• Basswood leaves are edible and are especially flavorful in the spring.
• The tree’s inner bark layer also is edible and has a sweet taste.
• Basswood is soft and is useful as friction firewood.
• It also is easy to carve.

• You can mix the resin with charcoal to make a strong, waterproof glue.
• Edible pine nuts come from the cones.
• Pine needles and pine boughs can be used for bedding material.
• Pine boughs also do well as natural insulation in survival shelters.
• Surface roots of the white pine are pliable and durable and can be fashioned into ropes.

White Oak (and Other Oak Trees)
The majestic white oak tree is native to eastern and central North America. It is easy to spot oak trees in mid- to late- summer because of their size and all the acorns they drop. Acorns are extremely useful in a survival situation. All acorns have bitter-tasting tannic acid, but it can be removed through a simple leaching process.
White oak acorns tend to have less tannic acid than other acorns, and their shell is harder and easier to remove than red acorns. While red oak trees have pointed leaf lobes, white oaks have leaf lobes that are rounded.
White Oak Survival Tips:
• After leaching out the tannic acid, you can grind acorns to make flour. Here is a video that shows this process for both white acorns and red oak acorns.
• Save the tannic acid to use as an antiseptic wash.
• Leached and ground acorns also can be used as a coffee substitute.
• Oakwood is firm and hard and is useful for many survival purposes, including shelter frameworks, ax handles and shovel sticks.
• Dried, white oak flowers are useful as tinder.

Willow Tree
You know there is a water source nearby if you see a willow tree. Although there are many varieties of this graceful tree, they all prefer moist areas. Willow leaves are narrow, plentiful and lance-shaped. Native to China, the willow grows throughout North America, Europe, and Asia in temperate regions that offer enough moisture and sunlight.
Willow Survival Tips:
• Willow bark contains a pain-relieving chemical called salicin. You can relieve headaches and inflammation by chewing on a few small green willow twigs and swallowing the juices.
• Willow bark peels away from the wood easily in the warmer months. You can use it to make a strong rope.
• Flexible young willow branches can be used to weave baskets.
Dried willow makes an excellent fire starter.

Found in the wet woodlands of the eastern United States, the Pawpaw boasts a tasty mango-like fruit that ripens in mid to late September. However, the vitamin-rich fruit is only one of this tree’s benefits.
Pawpaw Survival Tips:
• Pawpaw bark strips easily and separates into long fibers of that can be twisted to make strong cordage.
• The tree’s wood is light and easy to carve. Some carvers compare pawpaw wood to balsa or yucca because it is light and porous. Additionally, pawpaw wood has a desirable bright yellow color and a straight grain.

Onions are in the ground 🧅✅️
Beets will go with them since the two are good companions. I'll likely do 2-3 harvests of beets since they only take about 2 months to harvest.
Carrots on the other rows, and that'll do it for this bed. 🥕🥕🥕🥕

The Egg Float Test
Have you ever wondered if your eggs have gone bad? Well, there's a very simple way to check.
Place the egg(s) in a bowl of water and observe what they do. If they sink and rest on their side, they're fresh. If they sink but stand on their end, then they're starting to get old. And if the eggs float, they've gone bad.

I used this method today to test some eggs I found buried deep in one of our pine trees. A few of our hens have been hiding their eggs.
That's one of the only downsides to letting your chickens roam free, but it's well worth it because pasture-raised chickens are happy chickens, and the egg-quality from them is unmatched.
