Jane tours an established food forest where nearly everything you see is good enough to eat.

Deep in the Yarra Valley about an hour Northeast of Melbourne, Jane visits a garden filled with over 300 plants from around the world. This dense one-acre food forest is purposed as an edible and medicinal forest. It is also a wedding venue and home to the initiator of the project, Louise Ward, who lives here with her husband. Louise says they are “mimicking the normal forest as a food system...things that you would find when you go into a forest. Some things you can eat and some things you can't, but they all have their purpose within the forest. That's what the edible forest is all about.”

Louise came across the idea while researching permaculture and saw the term edible forest. “I thought wow that would be amazing... it'll be like the garden of Eden. People can walk in and taste. I can just see it in front of me,” she says. The site began as a clear open paddock on clay soil, so to improve the soil she and her husband brought in manure of all kinds. Now, everywhere you look is covered in plants along structured pathways and the result is that “there's a lot of produce,” says Louise, “We’re always having to think what we do with it. Because we’ve got the business here, we use it in the menus as well.”

Horticulturalist Jamie Sweetman has looked after these plants for nearly four years and takes tour groups around the garden. Jamie says, “we've got about 330 plants in here and about 200 are edible. The other hundred just fit into the system, so they will be attracting beneficial bugs or nitrogen-fixing. Everything has to have an excuse to be in here.” Large areas of the garden are protected by a netted structure which keeps out deer, rabbits and cockatoos, while still allowing the smaller creatures in. Jamie says, “the little birds can come in, so we've got blue wrens in here... they come in and out of the fence line as they please. The bees and the dragon flies, all the good stuff.”

Some of the plants harvested for medicinal purposes include rosehips and elderberry which can be made into syrups. Peruvian gooseberries can be eaten fresh, but a favourite this time of year is the chokeberry. Jamie says despite the name, “no, you won't choke but they're quite astringent. In saying that they have more antioxidants in them than blueberries. Easier to grow, they make a great hedge, easy to harvest and all ripen at the same time... they are in the rose family, you can kind of tell by the leaf shape.”

A common method of repurposing green waste is to chop-and-drop. Jamie explains “you'll cut something down and drop it on the ground so that the nutrients can go back into the ground.” The version they’re using in the edible forest is a wire structure shaped into a cylinder in which the green waste is piled up. Jamie says, “we will pull that up soon, throw some mulch over the top, leave it for a while and it’s building soil on site.” They also have a wetland area where everything is edible, including the Australian native water fern, nardoo, and a range of other nitrogen fixing plants such as the Persian silk tree. Jamie explains that nitrogen-fixing plants “have nodules on their roots that turn nitrogen into forms that other plants find accessible, so they’re self-fertilising our garden for us.”

Amongst all these plants with purpose, Louise does have a special favourite, the gotu kola. Louise says, “it’s a medicinal one, so it's not the most beautiful looking one... it’s very very happy over here and it’s a great little groundcover, too.” Louise says, “gardening is one of the best things I've ever discovered. It's just wonderful. Getting your hands dirty is just one of the most wonderful things in the world. It's really good for you mentally. It's everything.”

Combretum Adenogonium Induce Anticancer and Antioxidant Effects in Prostate Cancer Cell Line_Crimson Publishers

Abstract:

Plants have been used fortreating various diseases of human beings and animalssince time immemorial. They maintain the health andvitality of individuals, and also cure diseases, includingcancer without causing toxicity. This work investigated the anticancer, antioxidant activities of C. adenogonium roots, leaves, and stems commonly used as anti inflammatory and anti tumor. All the plant parts were extracted using 80% methanol, the anticancer activity was examined by using MTT assay against PC3 (Prostate Cancer) and determine their antioxidant activities by testing Effect ofPlant Methanol Extracts on suppressing whole blood Phagocytes and ROS Production and Metal chelating activities, filter and kept in dark, prepared freshly. The extract C. adenogonium roots, DC has shown very high activity against PC3 (Prostate Cancer) IC50 values 24μg/ml. The extract C. adenogonium leaves, and stems has shown none active anti against PC3 (Prostate Cancer) IC50 values >100, and >100μg/ml respectively. All the extracts Effect ofPlant Methanol Extracts on suppressing whole blood Phagocytes and ROS Production has shown none active in all plants parts under study C. adenogonium roots, leaves, and stems IC50 values>200 . All the examined plant methanol extracts showed different levels of inhibition % for their metal chelating activity at concentration 50μg/mL. C. adenogonium stem 50.87μg/m, C. adenogonium leaves 49.85μg/m,C. adenogonium roots 25.99μg/m.

My roommate and I are financially unstable while he does through a long, complicated diagnosis process that started as we stopped being homeless. I just got a job, and it's going to pay well and allow us to get caught up and stable, but I don't get my check for a week and a half. We have rent due on the 1st, our storage bill due at the end of the month, and we are out of food.

Dm me for proof or details

♪♫♬ I am Your Dentist ♪♫♬

was thinking about little shop of horrors and then putting the mercs in situations so here ya go!!!!

(rambles and an extra doodle under cut)

ok ok ok so i reaallly love little shop of horrors, its one of mty favorite movies... like i may or may not have named a scattergun "Audrey II" with the description as "Heal me, Seymour!"... uhm yeah and anyways ive been thinking about the dentist scene and realized, hmmm, this is like sooooo medic coded (i mean medic is like nicer and stuff but its the vibes yknow?)

and then i just spiraled from there. lol.

so i think sniper HAS to be Seymour, im mean it fits songwise too "suddenly sniper" right? and i put spy as Audrey mostly for the outfits? but honestly any of the mercs could be Audrey... like maybe demo heavy or engie. and since medic is obviously the dentist then heavy could be the masochist patient, but i feel like scout would fit a lot more since theyre both so talkative. and then for the 3 singers honestly any of the mercs could work too, or like throughout the movie they rotate with the mercs who dont take a main role i guess. oh and engie could be mr. mushnik? the cast in this movie is pretty small so its hard to pick which mercs to put :/

so yeah :> if i could animate in sfm i would soooooooooo animate scenes from this movie with the mercs i think thatd be pretty cool

I have officially seen my own patients for the first time! :D

I saw inpatient patients and street medicine patients yesterday, and today I got to see my own clinic patients! It feels like a milestone because the clinic patients in particular are the ones who are now establishing with me as their primary care doctor.

Anyway, that's the last day of residency orientation done with! This weekend is my last weekend as a free person and starting on Monday I'll be doing EM-peds for four weeks. We did a cute little last-day team bonding thing this afternoon and got to make our own succulent gardens, which was incredibly up my alley:

This has prompted me to finally look into proper succulent care, set up my remaining grow lights on a bookshelf, and repot my poor long-suffering jade plant to life alongside this little plant garden. And now I have a suitable place for, uh. Any more succulents I impulse purchase. :'D
