<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Catnip "ten times stronger than DEET"? </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I see so many claims
for "natural," alternative," "green," "organic," bug repellents that just don't work on
mosquitoes! Maybe they don't have many to begin with? Maybe they have special mosquitoes? lol </span><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Maybe
they want so badly for it to work well so they can claim they know a "natural alternative" that they go into it already deciding "it
works great!" I'd like a natural alternative to icky bug spray as much as the
next person, but be realistic; and try these things out without deciding beforehand that they work so well.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I was skeptical but
gave it a fair chance. I whipped up a nice <u>strong</u> batch of Catnip repellent. I
was outside for almost exactly 2 hours and used up 3/4 of the spray bottle and
was still getting eaten up by the mosquitoes. I even had one try to bite my
hand that was still wet from just spraying it. I don't know where all these
claims come from about just using this plant or that plant and how they work
better than bug spray. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I think the claim
for the Catnip being ten times stronger than DEET is for Catnip oil; but if it's
that much stronger, certainly, using freshly blended Catnip, made into a repellent
(that people claim works great), should work at least as well as DEET.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The mosquitoes are
so bad here this year, and the only way I get relief is by using bug spray with
DEET. I don't like spraying myself with chemicals, but it's better than getting
eaten alive and being bit by insects that carry disease that can even kill you.
"..the lesser of two evils." The only other alternative is to stay inside; and
we have so few months with nice weather to get outside, that's no option for me!
:)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I see a lot of claims that even just having certain
plants in your yard will repel mosquitoes too, like Peppermint, Catnip, etc.,
etc., yada, yada, yada. If that's true, why are so many mosquitoes in my yard; and why are there mosquitoes chewing on my cat while he's chewing on the Catnip in and among the Peppermint plants? Do I sound harsh? Just tired of all the claims being thrown around. :P</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Attach a long pole or branch to the bottom.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
These are for <b>tree</b> berries and fruit, not ground.</div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<br /></div>
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I saw a DIY berry picker out of PVC pipe (see below); and it looked like a good idea, something I
could use here to pick June Berries (Sugar Plums) that are high up off of the ground. Then, I realized that they have to heat the
PVC to bend it down, and I thought why not just use the natural curve at the bottom
of a plastic bottle and make one that way?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As far as instructions, there isn't much to say about it. The plastic bottles I used were sturdy and thick, so I had to use tin snips to cut them. <b>Just cut some V-shaped "fingers" to pull the fruit off. Put a long pole or branch through the hole at the bottom where the cap is or attach it to the side.</b></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This one turned out pretty good, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">from a vinegar bottle. It's even big enough </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">to pick small fruit with, like small apples. </span></div>

precautions and proceed at your own risk. ;) Better to have a professional fix your tire, but it's good information to know in an emergency.</b></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">In a nutshell, you spray something like starter fluid, hairspray, or WD-40 into the tire, ignite it, and then put air in the tire right away to keep it sealed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">My friend Bob told me about this, and it worked great! This was the method I used on my snow-blower tire (hairspray)...</span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I used hairspray since I didn't have starter fluid, which is what many people use to do this with; but apparently, there are different things
you can use. You can do a search for more information. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I personally wouldn't recommend lighting the spray from the can on fire like the video above. The tire I sealed was very small, and I used a very long 11-inch
match. You can use a blowtorch or something else to give you some distance from the tire. Better to start with a little spray and have it not seal on the first
attempt than to put too much in the first time you try this and have a bigger
than necessary reaction. <b>Obviously, don't try it on or near flammable things.</b></span></div>

bead</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">is the term for the edge of
a tire</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">that sits on the wheel</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">. Wheels for automobiles, bicycles,</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> etc. are
made with a small slot or groove for the tire bead to sit in. When the tire is
properly inflated the air pressure</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">within the tire keeps the bead in this
groove. When putting a new tire on a wheel, there is the problem of sealing or
setting the bead; the tire will not inflate if the incoming air can escape. Some
people spray starter fluid or WD-40 into the tire and then light it to set the
bead.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-size: large;">I'm one of those people who likes to be super organized and have "a place
for everything and everything in it's place," not that I always succeed; but
it's really important to keep track of certain things and </span><b style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: large;">organize</span> </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-size: large;">them before
you really need them and it's too late.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">It's a good idea to make </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b style="color: #666666;">copies</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;"> </span><b style="color: #666666;">of your
important documents</b></span><b style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"> </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">and/or save them together in a safe place in case of
emergencies/disasters. I have a list below of some documents to consider saving
in a special place. If possible, keep them in a </span><b style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">fireproof box or safe</span></b><b style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"> </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">or have
copies in different places in case something happens to your house. You can buy
a small fire box for a reasonable amount. Also, you might want to keep documents in a plastic
bag to keep them dry on the move. If you go to grab them, better to have them in a bag than have to try to find one in a rush.</span></div>

Save receipts on anything
you are still paying for and on recent bills. If (when) a major economic
collapse happens or a major disaster happens that could include computers
crashing, you don't want anyone to be able to say "well, we don't see that
you've made a payment on that for the last six months." This would include your
house, car, electric bill, etc.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">~~Something to consider. A lot of people look
up and save information on their computers for emergencies; but an important
thing to remember is, if a major disaster happens, chances are you won't have
access to your computer anymore or have the time to look up a bunch of information. It's very important to </span><b style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">take notes and print information</span></b><b style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"> </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">and keep it
in a safe place for when you need it. I especially like Pinterest to save
photos with links to information, but I try to take notes or print the things I
may need in an emergency. Also, it's a good idea to buy books on certain
subjects that will come in handy in an emergency.</span><br />

raw leaves to salads. It should be eaten in moderation. <b>Older leaves should be boiled in changes of water to
remove the bitterness, </b>oxalic acid. <b>Young flower stalks can be peeled and eaten. Once the seeds are
brown, they can be eaten cooked or raw. </b> Keep in mind, the seeds are very high
in fiber. ;) <b>Seeds can also be used as a substitute for coffee. The seeds can be ground into a flour to be used as a flour extender</b> (mix with regular flour). </span><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">No need to hull the seeds. You can use a blender, grain mill, mortar and
pestle, coffee grinder, etc.</span><br />

<u>Dock Flour Bread</u> (one loaf)</div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
1 package active dry yeast</div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
1 3/4 cups warm water </div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
2 Tbsp sugar</div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
1-1/2 tsp salt</div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
1-1/2 Tbsp shortening</div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
3 cups flour</div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
2 cups Dock flour</div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
You can adjust the ratios of flour to your own taste, using less or more Dock flour and can use a mix of white, wheat, Dock. </div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
Dissolve the yeast in about 1/2 cup of the warm water (hot or cold can kill the yeast) and then add the rest of the water. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. You want the dough to be easy to handle. You can add extra water or flour if necessary. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl and brush the top with melted butter. Cover and let rise until double. Punch it down and then roll out or just press it with your hands into a rectangle shape and then roll into a bread shape, tucking the ends under. Place in a greased bread pan, brush with butter, and let rise until double. Cook at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes. Brush with butter.</div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">

<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I think the true "survival bread" that will really last indefinitely is Hard Tack. (There is a place where they have some from Civil War times on display that is still edible.) You can check out my blog post on that if you like... <a href="http://doablesurvival.blogspot.com/2013/01/hardtack-and-survival-bread.html" target="_blank">(click here)</a></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This following recipe says it will last indefinitely. I don't know, but I'm</span><span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> sure it would last a long time. I think it would be a good recipe to whip up if you have a little time to prepare for a potential disaster coming your way, like a hurricane, or to throw in a backpack. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">You simply need a closable container, a roll of paper towels cut in half, and a few
ingredients. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Recipes vary a little. You can tweek them to your own liking. If you make
different ones, be sure to label them clearly. You wouldn't want to use bleach
wipes on baby's bottom! If you like, you can boil the water first to sterilize it. </span><br />

</div>
<div>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><strong>Keep in mind, just because you can get something at a "dollar
store" doesn't mean it's a better deal. Take into account the quantity you will
get, the quality, and what all you can use it for. Some items, even though the
quality isn't as good, are so versatile and can be used for so many different
things that they are still worthwhile stocking up on. </strong>It's a good idea
to get the better quality versions to go along with some of them though. For example,
their <b>duct tape and masking</b> <b>tape</b>. I just sealed a door up for the winter and
had to use the dollar store tape because I ran out of the good stuff, and it's
just not sticking properly. It keeps coming loose. I definitely want to invest
in some better quality tape for more emergent uses like sealing up windows and
doors from (depending on where you live) cold in a power outage, dust storms,
volcanic ash, fumes from a terrorist attack, etc. Still, the cheaper version can be useful for a lot of things. I do like their wide, clear, packing tape and use that for a lot of things. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Some items sound good but you don't get much like a bottle of <b>Ibuprofen</b>,
for example. You only get 40 pills (the store here). Equate Ibuprofen at Wal-Mart comes out to .56 cents per 40 pills. </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Also, you can get a better price at other stores (often a bigger quantity) for things
like</span><b style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, bleach, cotton balls, etc</b><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. Some items
are less than a dollar at other stores like </span><b style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">baking soda and salt, </b><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">just a couple I
can think of off the top of my head. I haven't priced everything, but it's something to keep in mind.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Some things I like to stock up on just as a cheap backup when I can't
afford to stock up a lot on the better quality products. For example, <b>shampoo
and conditioner</b>, while I don't like their shampoos and conditioners, I've
stocked up on them for emergencies. When the SHTF, you can't be too fussy; and
I'm sure I won't be too concerned if my shampoo doesn't lather the way I like.
;) (I even made dry shampoo just in case there is a lack of water at some
point. You can check that out here... <a href="http://doablesurvival.blogspot.com/2013/06/dry-shampoo.html" target="_blank">(click here)</a> Same with their <b>dish
soap</b>. You can get a huge bottle for a dollar. While I prefer Dawn or Joy, and
they work much better, the dollar store version will work ok in a pinch; and I
feel much better having a couple huge bottles of cheap dish soap in the
pantry than none at all since I can't afford to stock up on the good stuff right
now. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Also note, off brands at dollar stores often come from countries with loose regulations so may not be as safe; so use discretion. I think the main concerns were things like foods, electrical cords, pet food, toothpaste.</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Of course, I have to do a disclaimer here. :) </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'm not an expert. I check many different sources for information, as you should too. Compare information and photos from different sources. Proceed with caution. I don't try something new unless I'm absolutely certain. "If in doubt, throw it out." </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Having said that, don't let someone's fears of eating something poisonous scare you away from enjoying wild foods. There are a lot of people who just love putting fear into you about eating <i>anything</i> wild at all, but we used to live off the land. With a little care, you can make sure you have the right plants. There are some that are very easy to learn about and some that take more education. If something is questionable at all, just leave it alone.</span></div>

I plan to do a lot more hunting and foraging this year. ;) Also, most of the photos are my own. I'm in the northern US; so you may want to look into if these are in your area or not. </span></div>

I can see how they would make a good jam or jelly, and they can be used to make syrup or juice. Most of them were still green when I checked on them; but hopefully, I can go back and get enough to make jam later. The dark black-looking ones are the good ripe ones. </span></div>

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Update: I picked a lot of ripe ones yesterday, 8/16, along Lake Superior. The ripest softest ones are pretty good straight from the bush, but the rest are pretty tart; so I'm using the rest to make jam and jelly. I made jam tonight. I normally like jam better because I like the fruit pulp in there, but I think this would make a better jelly. I'll try that next. </span></div>

Some trees produce fruit that is so bitter that it is not only unpalatable but, in my estimation, totally inedible.

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Yep, I can see it now, I'll have to weed my weed garden. lol I started an edible weed garden outside of my veggie garden this year. This photo was actually taken a month or so ago shortly after starting it. It's not much too look at yet. It has things like Lambs Quarters (which I love cooked), Purslane, Chickweed, Goatsbeard, Cow Parsnip, Evening Primrose, etc. Even if I discontinue some of it later, I definitely want to keep adding Lambs Quarters as I find it scattered on other parts of the property. It's eaten as a green in different parts of the world, but we throw it out as a weed. If you pinch off the top part, it keeps growing. </span><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">You can see some pictures of that and some of the others I mentioned on this post.. </span><a href="http://doablesurvival.blogspot.com/2012/11/wild-edibles-ill-add-to-this-post-now.html" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">(click here)</a><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It's a berry good time of the year! (..in da UP eh) I picked all these different berries today. I've been Blueberry picking a few times already this summer and have quite a few of those but wanted to check on some Sandcherries and Bearberries I know of to see if they are ripe yet as I hadn't tried those yet. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The <b>Bearberries</b> are mostly still green too, but I found just one very red ripe one to try. Not very good. More of a "survival food" that is good to know about. Reminded me of Wintergreen. I tried a few that weren't ripe yet, and it was like taking a bite of sand (but not gritty). Hard to explain. blech Won't be going back for more of those.</span><br />

<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is supposed to work really well for </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Poison Ivy</b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It also helps relieve <b>bee and wasp stings and mosquito bites. </b></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you start to develop areas of irritation from Poison Ivy, gently rub the liquid from the plant on the areas. It's said to even prevent the rash from appearing if you use this on exposed areas beforehand. I have never had a Poison Ivy reaction, so I can't tell you how well it works myself. If you have tried this, let me know. This is one of those "nice to know" things in case you are out hiking and realize you just got yourself into a patch of Poison Ivy. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It actually contains active ingredients found in Preparation H., fungicide

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span class="bodyclass" style="background-color: white; vertical-align: top;"><i>You can also make Jewelweed ointment by simmering a small amount of Jewelweed in light vegetable oil (any vegetable oil except olive oil, which burns) 10-15 minutes. Use only a small handful of Jewelweed stems per quart of oil, or bubbles of Jewelweed juice will form in the ointment and go moldy. Strain out the herb, add a handful of beeswax to thicken it, and heat until melted. Take out a spoonful and let it cool to test the thickness, and add more oil or beeswax as needed. Add the contents of one oil-soluble vitamin E capsule, a natural preservative, and let it cool. Refrigerated, it lasts for months."</i></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is supposed to work well on <b>burns, like you would use Aloe Vera</b>. Just break open a leaf and rub (gently of course) the liquid on the burn area. I will have to try this next time I burn myself. I'm a klutz, so it's inevitable. ;) <b>It's also said to relieve sores on the skin and snake and insect bites and stings.</b> There is a lot of information about medicinal values of Purslane, and I'd like to get into more detail later. Native Americans have used it for things like earaches, diarrhea, burns, and bruises. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This tends to grow wild in gardens and other disturbed areas and is usually pulled out as a weed, but these are edible also. (See my Wild Edibles post.) It's very good for you, full of vitamins and far more omega 3 fatty acids than other plants.</span></span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Goldenthread
is a very bitter tasting herb that was formerly highly valued and widely used in
North America by the native Indians and white settlers alike, though it is
little used in modern herbalism. It was employed mainly to treat any soreness in
the mouth. The dried roots, stems and leaves are antiphlogistic, highly
astringent, sedative, stomachic, tonic. The plant is valued as a local
application in the treatment of thrush in children. It is also used in the
treatment of ulcerated mouths and as a gargle for sore throats or mouths. It is
said to be useful in the treatment of dyspepsia and helpful in combating the
drink habit. The plant contains the alkaloid 'berberine', which is a mild
sedative, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. The root is collected in the
autumn and dried for later use. </span></div>

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Want to try something different that is easy to make? Just pour white
vinegar (or vinegar you prefer) over a jar full of Violet flowers or Chive flowers, and you will have a
pretty pink to purple vinegar. It makes a nice addition to a gift basket. It can be used in salad dressings, potato salad, or anything you normally use vinegar in. I read somewhere that the Violet Vinegar has a peppery taste, but I haven't actually tasted that one yet. It sure is pretty though. The Chive Vinegar, well, tastes like Chive. ;) I like that one very much.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Let it sit for a few days. (Some people let it sit for a couple of weeks.) Then, strain. If you store it in a jar with a metal lid, put a piece of waxed paper between it and the vinegar as it will corrode metal.<b> </b></span></div>

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">You may be surprised to know there are many kinds of
Milkweed, but this post is on the Common Milkweed. If you are unfamiliar, you
will want to learn how to identify them. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I was skeptical about these at first but was pleasantly
surprised. How can a plant with that yucky, white, sticky, latex-like stuff
inside taste good? They do! For me though, this will mostly stay a survival
food or rare treat as Monarch butterflies use them for nurseries and food, so I
personally don't want to take that away from them if not necessary. If you find a large patch, it's fine to take some. Of course, no matter what you are
harvesting, you don't want to deplete the whole plant source.

They can be added to soups, stir-fry, casseroles,
etc. They can be used in many different recipes. I boiled some (and then topped it with butter and salt) and battered some. When I try something new, I like to try it on its own first. :)</span></div>

ones are under 3 inches or so. You can boil them until tender or fry them in a little
butter or oil. I tried them both ways. The boiled ones were pretty good, but I
didn't like them sauteed in butter so much; and I normally love things prepared
like that. I still prefer young Milkweed greens to the pods. When picking the
pods, if the insides look dry, they are too old. They should be soft and white
with no brown. The whole pod is edible, including the silk and seeds. Some
people boil them for a few minutes and then stuff them with other things. Some
say they taste like asparagus or okra. I'm not sure how to describe the taste.
You will have to try them for yourself. :) The silk can be boiled with rice
and is said to look like mozzarella cheese in the rice</span>.</span></div>

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">As with most plants, these are best and most tender before the flowers
open. The <b>young leaves</b> can be eaten raw or cooked, but I think they are best cooked. You will have to try it and see for yourself. The <b>stalks</b> can be
eaten raw or cooked and used the way you would use celery, which has endless
possibilities. The <b>flower buds</b>, before opening, can be eaten boiled. They can be a little strong, so you can change the water a couple of times. <b>Seeds, flower buds, and young leaves can also be dried and used as
seasoning.</b> </span><br />

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I steamed some unopened flower buds with some young leaves and cut up stalks all together, and they tasted pretty good. I tried the stalk raw also, and I liked that the best. The <b>root</b> is also edible and best from fall to early spring, but many people find it to be too bitter. It was apparently harvested by the Indians quite a bit. I didn't try this part yet. Dried stems can even be used for straws in the
wilderness. </span></div>

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">You want to peel the stalks, although very young shoots don't have to be
peeled, specially if you are going to cook them anyway. The stalks for the leaves and
the stalks for the flowers peel a little differently with the skin coming off in
nicer larger pieces for the flower stalks. The stalk that has the leaf on it is
a little sweeter than the flower stalk, and some people dip them in sugar, after
peeling, like some people do with raw rhubarb (like I did when I was a kid). I
tried this, and it was very tasty. I was pleasantly surprised. That was my favorite part, but then I have a sweet tooth. ;)</span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><u>Warnings:</u> </b> This plant uses a chemical called furanocoumarin as self-defense
against fungus. The sap and fine hairs on the outside of the plant, if it gets
on you and then is exposed to sunlight, can cause burns and blisters. You want
to use gloves when harvesting it. </span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I handled some on a cloudy day and then peeled it
and cut it up while in the house and then washed my hands and had no problems at
all. Some people may be more sensitive to it. Just be careful.

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I see many warnings about not confusing this with <b>Poison Hemlock</b>; but they
look quite different</span><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> unless you are just looking at the flowers, <i>which you
should never do to identify a plant anyway.</i> The leaves are quite different, so
you really don't need to worry about confusing them if you know what the leaves
look like. </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Also, don't get this confused with the Giant Hogweed. </span><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> This plant is
notorious for causing severe burns and blisters. There are a few definite
characteristics to go by to tell them apart. Here is a web site that has some nice comparison photos of the two. <a href="http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/72766.html" target="_blank">(click here)</a></span></div>

the bath water" and have an all or nothing approach when they find out they have
to be cautious about something instead of just getting educated on it and using
it properly. They love to strike fear in the hearts of people and be dramatic. "Stay away from that plant!" They want to destroy and "eradicate" things or they
don't want anything to do with something that they may have to spend a few
minutes to learn about because they are "too busy" for it. I believe the Cow Parsnip is a very good wild edible to have around,
and I'm glad I know more about it now. :) mooo</span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I've seen instructions for Home-Made Mosquito Traps floating around the internet, specially Pinterest; and thought I'd give it a try. I'm surrounded by national forest, and the mosquitoes are the worst here than they have been since
I got this house 10 years ago. They are horrible! I don't know if it matters what kind of mosquitoes are in a location, but <b>it didn't work for me</b>. I tried two of the different recipes of sugar, water, and yeast
and let it set out for a total of about a week and didn't catch a single
mosquito. Supposedly, it makes carbon dioxide, which attracts the mosquitoes into the trap. It started to attract some other kind of small fly and some beetles, so I
dumped it out. </span></div>

<div>
<u><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b> Two different recipes:</b></span></u></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1/4 cup brown sugar</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1 cup warm water</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1 gram active dry yeast </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1 cup sugar</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">3 cups water (1 cup warm to dissolve yeast and then 2 cups cool)</span></div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">1 tsp active dry yeast</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">(This was too much. The opening was below the water level, so some had to be dumped out.)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">(Note, yeast is living. You dissolve it in warm water. Hot water will kill it. We learned this in Home-Ec when making bread.) :)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The instructions are to cut the top off of a 2 liter bottle. You put the sugar water mixture in the bottom, and invert the bottle top into the top of the bottom. The bugs go down in the hole in the middle and get trapped. </span></div>
