  • When I have issues eating I go for non-offensive foods that are easy to swallow such as a can of white beans in tomato sauce, plain full fat Greek yoghurt, oatmeal made with milk and not water, lentil soup. I sometimes make 1000 kcalorie smoothies with half an avocado, 2 tbsp peanut butter, cup of 10% fat yogurt, a banana, 1/2 cup oatmeal and enough orange juice to make it liquid. Will not win any taste awards but does contain a bunch of good stuff.



  • Nice article and very true! To help native pollinators you can plant native flowers, and also very important: leave the dead plants in your garden at the end of the season. The pollinators use the stems of dead plants for their overwintering. Please don’t place a ton of insect hotels either, solitary bees aren’t supposed to nest together and you will get mites and other pathogens that infest the baby bees (this happened in my garden and all my neighbors gardens…). If you do want an insect hotel for mason bees, clean it out every year and replace the tubes where the bees lay their eggs. Also store the tubes in an appropriate place in the winter, but be sure to put the tubes with eggs outside when it’s time to hatch :)







  • In my country they use vans like a Mercedes Sprinter because you can actually keep your stuff dry and even make a little workshop in there. The only use I can think of for a pickup truck is maybe gardeners so they don’t have to haul a trailer for their green waste? Could also maybe be useful to haul strawbales if you have a small farm. But you can just do that in a trailer behind your van as well, and your equipment will be dry inside the van and you can leave the trailer when you don’t need it.
