How does YOUR garden grow?



OK, so mine is pretty DEAD from the incredible lack of rain, thank you very much. I was so excited this year to finally install a really nice garden for my family. It started out so nice too. I tilled much of it with my hands. It was a great project to work on while I was going through the harder days of chemotherapy. I would even just lie in the grass sometimes and take in the sun and fresh air. I know my neighbors thought I was a nut. Oh well. Maybe there's hope for a fall garden.

In the meantime I buy all our fruits and veggies organic at the store or local co-op and just pretend some of it's from my garden. This way, I'm also supporting the local farmers who must be suffering much more than I during this drought. I love living in denial. Hey, it works for me.

My salad today was SO delicious and fresh. It tasted just like it was straight from the backyard garden. :) I hope it inspires you to do something healthy for yourself today!

Fresh Garden Salad

Chopped Greens, romaine, spinach, etc.
tomato, diced
beet, diced
a few mint leaves
thin slice of sweet onion, diced
1/2 avocado, diced
1/2 cucumber, peeled and diced
hemp seeds
juice of 1 lime
flax oil
pinch of mineral-rich sea salt

You'll notice I didn't use specific measurements. That's because every salad should be unique to the person eating it in order to enjoy it fully.

A FEW CANCER FIGHTING PROPERTIES:
Romaine greens and tomatoes are not only rich in fiber they are also cooling which helps with summer heat (and chemo-related hot flashes!).

"But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever."

  6. Most prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas, cancers that arise in glandular cells of the prostate’s epithelial tissue. Prostate cancers usually progress slowly and produce no symptoms in the initial stages. Eventually, the tumor may enlarge like mine too, the prostate gland, pressing on the urethra and causing painful or frequent urination and blood in the urine.
