Top 10 Vegetables to Grow
and Harvest in Winter
by Mossy Bottom | Date added:
07-Dec-20
I've not yet (successfully)
grown any vegetables in my
garden, but this video
inspires me. I have whittled
the list down a little and
added my notes:
- savoy cabbage - best of
all - harvest in winter
- purple sprouting broccoli,
sprouts early spring, but
available into winter
- swede/turnip - gowery -
50cm between, harvest low
leaves
- beetroot (slug-proof,
place it strategically, on
end row)
- carrots, sow in april,
harvest from July onwards
- kale, keep gaps between
plants and leaves off the
ground - flat-leaved
Siberian variety for
winters, or Uncle John's
- sprouts, harvest nov-feb,
keep ventilated, variety:
brilliant (avoid red
varieties) - you can eat
them raw
- spinach (perpetual), grow
at end of row like beetroot.
Plant in April
(choose hardy varieties)
December 21st The Great
Conjunction [from an
astrological perspective]...

This video had some great
general advice:
- Find your community, find
your tribe
- You are the average of the
company you keep
- cultivate the right type
of friends (and family
members)
- Foster more inspirational
areas of you lives
- Introverted? perhaps
you're just around people
you don't align with
energetically
- What is your community?
- What people inspire and
motivate you?
- Conjunction on winter
solstice; new age of
Aquarius = a powerful time
- It's impractical to take
on multiple new habits all
at once
- Slowly add things in; see
what works and what doesn't
(journal on these things)

The Magic Mushroom Christmas
Theory
by After Skool | Date added:
23-Dec-20
Many of us have heard that
Christmas has been adopted
from a pagan holiday. Well,
even The Magic Mushroom
Christmas Theory was new to
me. This revolves around the
Amanita muscaria, a
hallucinogenic mushroom,
although the
Wikipedia page on it,
while mentioning
Christianity, doesn't
mention Christmas. Curiously
the ancient Egyptians have a
hieroglyph called Amenta
which looks like a mushroom
and is apparently the symbol
for the underworld.

The Antikythera mechanism
Episode 10 - Evidence Of A
Lunar Calendar
by Clickspring | Date
added: 12-Dec-20
This has been a fascinating
series so far.
The
Antikythera mechanism is an
ancient Greek hand-powered
... device used to predict
astronomical positions and
eclipses for calendar and
astrological purposes...
[The] artefact was retrieved
from the sea in 1901, ...
The instrument is believed
to have been designed and
constructed by Greek
scientists and has been
variously dated to [as early
as] 205 BC... -
Wikipedia
I thought it odd that it
wouldn't have been assumed
that the Antikythera
mechanism would include, or
even be based on a lunar
calendar since they seem to
me to have been the calendar
or choice in the past.
The Biggest Danger on Bike
Lanes
by One Cyclist in Lisbon | Date
added: 02-Dec-20
I have followed this channel
for a while, enjoying
watching the cycling
experiences; it encouraged
me to start recording my own
trips. In this video "OCiL"
illustrates the problems he
experiences with pedestrians
walking in the bike lanes.
I can certainly see the
problem there. There needs
to be a shift in the
mentality of pedestrians,
perhaps an advertising
campaign to change the ways
- they should not
automatically walk on the
bike lane.
I once collided with a
pedestrian who stepped out
in front of me; it was a
painful experience for both
of us. How come the
pedestrians there, walking
in bike lanes, don't fear
being hit by a bike? Do they
not acknowledge the speed
some pass them at!? I would
not feel safe walking there.
Equally, sometimes I feel
safer cycling on a road
rather than a cycle path
(thankfully this is legal
here in the UK, even if some
motorists object),
particularly where there is
a shared cycle path. There
is always the risk of a
pedestrian deciding to
suddenly change direction
without thinking "bike". A
bell certainly can help, but
often there is no time to
react, or I can be ringing
it and it goes unheard. By
contrast, a horn generally
sounds excessive.
