La Grand & Emma Hunt — Phone no: 435-231-1301 As concerns for the future mount, smart citizens are preparing for the worst. In these uncertain times, the concept of starting a survival garden and keeping an emergency seed bank on hand has become more widespread over the last several years.

My Patriot Supply Flyers-4 Heritage seeds

 

 

 

More and more families are gaining food independence by establishing survival gardens featuring non-hybrid emergency seeds. These seeds are not genetically modified and can thrive in even the harshest soil conditions, making them the ultimate survival garden seeds. The health benefits of non-gmo seeds are more widely recognized – more now than ever – and people are taking a stand against high super market prices. Just because you want the best for your family, doesn’t mean you have to pay a premium on your family’s emergency seed bank.

 When disaster appears eminent, you have to ask yourself a critical question: Can I feed my family from the garden if I have to? Do I have the right kind of seeds for my region? Can I save my survival garden seeds from my harvest to plant the following year?

Temperature Tests for Candy Making

http://www.mypatriotsupply.com/?Click=27606

There are two different methods of determining when candy has been cooked to the proper consistency. One is by using a candy thermometer in order to record degrees; the other is by using the cold water test. The chart below will prove useful in helping to follow candy recipes:

Type of Candy Degrees Cold water

Fondant, Fudge 234 – 238 Soft Ball

Divinity, Caramels 245 – 248 Firm Ball

Taffy 265 – 270 Hard Ball

Butterscotch 275 – 280 Light Crack

Peanut Brittle 285 –290 Hard Crack

Caramelized Sugar 310 –321 Caramelized

In using the cold water test, use a fresh cupful of cold water for each test. When testing, remove the candy from the fire and pour about ½ teaspoon of candy into the cold water. Pick the candy up in the fingers and roll into a ball if possible.

In the SOFT BALL TEST the candy will roll into a soft ball; which quickly loses its shape when removing from the water.

In the FIRM BALL TEST the candy will roll into a firm but not hard ball. It will flatten out a few minutes after being removed from water.

In the HARD BALL TEST the candy will roll into a hard ball which has lost almost all plasticity and will roll around on a plate on removal from the water.

In the LIGHT CRACK TEST the candy will form brittle threads; which will soften on removal from the water.

In the HARD CRACK TEST the candy will form brittle threads in the water, which will remain brittle after being removal from the water.

In CARMELIZING, the sugar first melts then becomes a golden brown. It will form a hard brittle ball in cold Water.

Your Medicinal Herb Garden seed order comes with: Echinacea – Purple Coneflower – 130+ Seeds/packet Results of archeological digs indicate that Native Americans may have used echinacea for more than 400 years to treat infections and wounds and as a general “cure-all.” Throughout history people have used echinacea to treat scarlet fever, syphilis, malaria, blood poisoning, and diphtheria. Although this herb was popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, its use began to decline in the United States after the introduction of antibiotics. Echinacea preparations became increasingly popular in Germany throughout the 20th century. In fact, most of the scientific research on echinacea has been conducted in Germany. Several laboratory and animal studies suggest that echinacea contains active substances that enhance the activity of the immune system, relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and have hormonal, antiviral, and antioxidant effects. For this reason, professional herbalists may recommend echinacea to treat urinary tract infections, vaginal yeast (candida) infections, ear infections (also known as otitis media), athlete’s foot, sinusitis, hay fever (also called allergic rhinitis), as well as slow-healing wounds. Cayenne Long Red Thin Hot Pepper – 90+ Seeds/packet Cayenne is most widely regarded as a circulatory stimulant said to strengthen the heart and blood vessels while promoting increased vitality. Borage – 130+ Seeds/packet Several parts of this plant are useful in the kitchen! Young leaves can be added to salads, and pretty blue flowers can be candied, used as a garnish, or added to drinks– especially teas! In modern herbalism, Borage is said to be effective against weak or diminished adrenal function, fevers, inflammation, sore and inflamed eyes, colds, bronchitis, chronic catarrh, congestion, pleurisy and fever. Pleurisy Root – Asclepias Tuberosa – 50+ Seeds/packet Some Native American legends tell of the roots being used as a body wash for lifting and running strength. Also used as a drug in chant lotion, and as a ceremonial emetic. Asclepias tuberosa has a long history of use as a valuable alternative medicine and is one of the most important of the indigenous American species. Butterfly Weed is used internally in the treatment of diarrhea, dysentery, chronic rheumatism, and as an expectorant. It has a specific action on the lungs, making it a valuable medicinal herb in all chest complaints and in the treatment of many lung diseases. Urtica Dioicia – Nettle – 150+ Seeds/packet Used in ancient times by the Romans for boosting leg circulation, the fibrous stalks were used to make a fine cloth. Nutritious, Nettle can be used as a substitute for greens when cooking and is nutrient dense with many vitamins and minerals. Nettle tea has been used to treat asthma as well as for allergy and cold relief by the loosening of congestion. Regarded as a diuretic, Nettle helps maintain kidney health and function. It is also used in homeopathic treatments of anemia, menstrual relief and prostate health. In juiced form, Nettle is used as a natural bug spray! Scutellaria Lateriflora – Mad-dog Skullcap – 50+ Seeds/packet Herbalists claim it is an effective headache remedy, great for insomnia and both calms and strengthens the nervous system. Flowering tops of skullcap are used in daily teas as well as formulas for chronic conditions. Called Mad-dog because the tea was once used as a folk remedy for rabies. Enjoy its numerous small blue flowers from July through September or put the leaves in a pillow to induce restful sleep. Culver’s Root – 200+ Seeds/packet Historically Culver’s Root has also been used as a tonic to treat liver and gallbladder disorders and to promote healthy bile flow. Culver’s root is a native North American plant that is well established in Native American herbal medicine. In the Southern U.S., it is still used extensively as a tonic for the stomach and a blood purifier and is known as Black Root. Culver’s extract has also been used effectively  for diarrhea, chronic constipation, indigestion,  sallow complexion and dull frontal headaches Hyssopus officinalis – Hyssop – 150+ Seeds/packet The bright blue flowers of this member of the mint family add lovely color to your herb garden! Leaves may be brewed into a tea with soothing and medicinal properties for colds, flu, sore throat, bruises, and burns. It is also said to be effective as an expectorant and to promote improved circulation and digestion. Lemon Balm – 400+ Seeds/packet Lemon Balm is anti-viral, so the tea is great to drink if you’re feeling under the weather.  The hot tea brings on a sweat that is good for relieving colds, flus and fevers and an anti-viral agent has been found that combats mumps, cold sores and other viruses.  Lemon Balm might also help with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Shingles, due to the anti-viral action. One of Lemon Balm’s key medicinal qualities is as a tranquilizer.  It calms a nervous stomach, colic, or heart spasms. The leaves are reputed to also lower blood pressure.  It is very gentle, although effective, so is often suggested for children and babies. Lemon Balm tea has been shown to inhibit the division of tumor cells.  It may also be beneficial to those with Grave’s disease-studies indicate that the herb slightly inhibits the thyroid-stimulating hormone and restricts Grave’s disease, a hyperthyroid condition. Lemon Balm’s anti-histamine action is useful to treat eczema and headaches and accounts for the centuries old tradition of placing the fresh leaf on insect bites and wounds.  A fomentation of Lemon Balm may also help reduce the swelling associated with gout. Through research, Lemon Balm has clearly demonstrated the ability to impact the limbic system of the brain and “protect” the brain from the powerful stimuli of the body and should be part of any ADHD formula.  It smells a lot better than Ritalin, too. Catnip – 250+ Seeds/packet Catnip is a vigorous growing mint loved by cats. It is brewed into a tea to treat colds, headaches, flu, and fever. Tea also has a relaxing effect on children. Plants grow up to 36” tall. Grayish green leaves have a strong mint-like flavor and may be harvested 75 to 85 days after sowing. Dried, it is used as a stimulant for cats as well as an excellent tea to help you sleep.
