Summary

Ecologia says, "This mini manual by edible landscape author Michael Judd jumps right into growing, caring for, harvesting, and using pawpaws – from seed to table. Judd demystifies fruit growing in direct, easy to follow steps that quickly brings confidence to the newbie grower while expanding the horizons of curious gardeners.

Historically most people have only experienced foraged pawpaw fruit, which can be a hit or miss game for a good experience. That is quickly changing as selected and bred cultivars are being grown and shared. Judd’s pawpaw manual gets you started right away with the best selections and approaches. "

About the Author

Ecologia says "Michael’s beginning with whole system design began with an opportunity to live with the last of the Lacondon Mayans in southern Mexico along the Guatemalan border. Here he experienced the ancient design practices of the Mayans that ingeniously mimic natures patterns to create functional landscapes. About the same time he discovered a parallel design system coming out of Australia, “permaculture,” that applies similar landscape use of the Mayans but adapted to the modern world. Combining designs in 2001 he created Project Bona Fide on Ometepe Island, SW Nicaragua."

From the video transcript:
"The pawpaw tree has a very deep taproot that taps into something ancient and brings forth a nutritious and abundant fruit. Paw Paws are so loved that festivals are popping up to celebrate them from medicinal leaves to beautiful golden beers. Paw Paws have an amazing world to share. I'd like you to join me on this Paw Paw adventure to explore this woodland cousin of the tropical custard apple."

If you find your local city doesn't already have an event you can set one up and then list it on their website too to reach more people: https://www.fashionrevolution.org/add-an-event/

Bit short notice though :)

Their website says:

On Saturday 20th April, join us on the streets for our first global Mend In Public Day. The idea is simple: get out into your local community and stitch in protest against disposable fashion. Amidst busy Saturday shoppers, we will repair our torn pockets and broken seams and spark conversations on making Loved Clothes Last.

Mend in Public Day stands as a beacon of change in a world inundated with fashion waste. By participating, you’ll be part of a global creative action resisting the cycle of excess through repair and reuse. Get your repair pile (or other fibre crafts!) at the ready, find a Mend In Public Day event near you or host your own. All skill levels and Fashion Revolutionaries welcome!

This seemed like something that lots of people here might be interested in... There are heaps of resources on the website including 'How to' guides and you can also find an event near you - Mend in Public Website

I felt like I should contribute to this post as I'm currently in the (hopefully) last few days of a cold/flu-type bout and I seem to be faring a lot better than those around me. I've been:

-Swearing by the ol' lemon and honey hot drink (squeeze 1 fresh lemon into cup/add teaspoon of honey/fill with hot water/drink!)
-Necking this version of Fire Cider: https://www.buchi.com.au/product/buchi-fire-cider/ which uses kombucha as the vinegar base.
-Having ginger in everything (applies to normal life too :) ) and munching on the odd bit of raw garlic.
-I've been eating a ton of red grapes and a bit of super dark chocolate which seems like a  pretty decadent way to be sick but I feel like their antioxi bits and bobs might have helped.  Or maybe this is just a sick person's version of red wine and chocolate indulgence...hmm.

Also, green tea and chamomile tea have both been great for helping with a cough.
