Thank you both for the recommendations!
I have to admit I'm more interested in building irrigation and grey water systems and greenhouses than in growing things, but I'm going to apply myself to this healing stuff.
Sachita, don't even draw me on about how seniors have gotten robbed of their qualitIty of life!! My mom started shucking oysters when she was 5 years old to help her family, then produced a flock of children who work hard, vote and volunteer. And for all that she's contributed over 70+ years, our lovely system sends her about $600 a month. Good thing she is used to living simply.
She's a good gardener and is great at preserving what she's grown. I hope Mom can get well again, she's a wonderful person. She still makes her own clothes. I used to be embarrassed about that.
