The earth doesn't need AI when wonderful minds and abilities like yours exist!
We haven't even begun to tap our own intelligence and abilities, yet there are those who think a technological 'mind' is needed because ours aren't good enough.
Perhaps the computer programs will write better material than I do someday, who knows.. one thing I do know is that those machines will not care about this world and the beings I share it with as much as I do.
Very comprehensive. i have taken some of these before. i like them better that maca, for energy. I had no idea they were so pretty, and now i am inspired to grow them.
I have seen rhodiola sold by some as a “superfood” but have not been aware of it as a plant being able to survive harsh climate conditions, etc. thanks for the encyclopedic knowledge base you are creating!
Another fascinating article! One takeaway is Nature gifts to mankind - such beauty and healing power absolutely free. The pictures of the prepared dishes are stunning - I imagine this is what heaven is really like. As I read the article, I saw my opportunities diminsh, to grow this species in the sandy loom soil (SE Michigain) with a high water table. Should MAHA ever gets its act together, I would love to see a chain of restaurants that serve food like what you've shown in the pictures ....well I can dream. Thanks again Gavin for enlightening us.
Thanks! :) I agree! There is profound abundance and enhanced longevity available to those willing to take the time to first recognize, observe, align with the cycles of and then propagate the gifts of nature. Species like this highlight how that is true even for people living in extremely remote mountainous or cold climates.
It is worth noting that while Rhodiola Rosea does still grow prolifically in the wild in some places (such as Nova Scotia and Newfoundland) there are many areas where it is on the decline from over harvesting, so keeping that in mind when contemplating foraging vs cultivating is a helpful and ethical approach to allying with species like this.
Well based on where you are, I am sure you could amend the soil (or even some containers) to grow enough for yourself (and perhaps a farmer's market scale type production quantity) regardless of the current soil conditions, but for commercial production some areas are certainly more well suited to grow it without much work yes.
I added in some more resources on growing in different climates and situations to the article and also added links to a few more recipes (of my own) which I have experimented with adding some of the dried golden root powder to, and enjoyed the results.
You are most welcome! Thanks for reading and commenting.
I appreciate the ideas, and will pursue the container methods. With my recent comment, I forgot to ask about sources of fresh herbs (e.g. golden root powder), alfalfa, candula, nettle, etc.). I recently purchased "The Encyclopedia of Natural Pet Care" by C. J. Puotinen, and wish to move away from Big Pharma in the vetenerian arena. I expect to buy a home in the near future and my interests will to turn seeds (big lawns do not appeal to me, I plan to grow a garden and mini-park). Thanks again.

Thanks Suzi, I really needed that today.
I agree, humans have so much untapped potential.

You really are thorough. Almost a book of information on every little topic.
I think I have seen these growing on rocks in Finland, Will have to take note in future and relocate any broken off bits to our garden perhaps.
