The plant has been used in traditional Chinese medicine as an analgesic and as a treatment for rheumatism. Incarvillateine isolated from Incarvillea sinensis has demonstrated significant analgesic…

• This is what comes up with a search for Incarvillea Sinensis. I’m a little confused…thanks!

Thanks for hooking me up with the documentary and I will send you an IM for the rest. Woohoo…this is great.

Funny enough the best deal on it that I know of comes from an online retailer of Kratom. They sell several kinds of herbs. I use that and their Skullcap, as well as their Kratom.

Full disclosure, they once sent me a free bag of Kratom to review. 🙂

@haikugal

If you like I’ll PM you the names of two good forums for Kratom users, and one Facebook group as well.

Avoid the Kratom extracts unless you have major pain and the regular Kratom is too hard to assimilate in the amounts needed. Some people do get addicted to the extracts.

If you have Netflix, here’s a…[Read more]

@gzeush I think there are a couple of varieties. It’s al over the web but I thought maybe someone here has actually used it or harvested and made something from it. Look what’s on eBa…[Read more]

Thanks anyway @Elias39 Your response is appreciated.

I need something to help with pain from time to time. I can’t take anything but acetaminophen due to an illness and Tylenol doesn’t touch my pain sometimes. Also it helps with sleep. I’m thinking of trying out a tea (drying the Lactuca virosa) or making it into tincture or resin to use in alcohol. Some people smoke it but I don’t smoke anymore,…[Read more]

I usually think of lettuce as food, with little in the way of medicinal value.  Apparently, Plants for a Future has a higher opinion of it.  Here is a link to their entry for prickly lettuce:  https://pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?LatinName=Lactuca+serriola

What is it you want to do with your lettuce?

sorry @haikugal

I’ll start making up a list.

Off the top of my head, though:

dill

sunflower

Detroit red beet

radish

The seeds I was ordering were some unusual things that I was going to give a try.  I try to save seeds as much as possible, and I have lots from last year.  Let’s make this thread the informal JPR seed swap.  If you have something to offer, or something you want, speak up.

I have lots of varieties of winter squash, and my salsify plants are al…[Read more]

I’ve spoken with quite a few gardeners who say they’ve had trouble buying seeds, and informal seed swaps are happening a lot more. I went to some large seed swaps back in February and lucked out. Do you have Freecycle in your region? I know I’ve gotten some there. And I just gave away several seedlings via that site. Seedlings are actually harder…[Read more]

If you need anything, let me know. I have a vast supply.

fields at schools and turn them into gardens.

Pick a city and see if it is listed in the National Farmers Market Directory.  Other close-by city markets may me listed on internet Maps.  May be time to turn the local city garden in to a much bigger food source by organizing more citizens.  Hope this helps many.
