Personally, I'm wouldn't take any advice from RFK. Look at his record with Public Health. He's got himself mixed up again with the seed oils business. They're pretty beneficial actually, it's all the other crap that they're concocted with to make UPF that's bad. Really not sure why he's picked them out as the villains of the piece. Colours are obviously not great, but there's many other things that are worse. Have a look at high-fructose corn syrup, emulsifiers or artificial sweeteners for instance. Still not buying the patter that Trump is going to MAFGA. His idea of healthy american food is a McDonald's Meal.

Yep. Quick to grow, quick to dry, quick to burn. That's Willow.

You can also make wine out of the flowers, my Granddad did. Bucket loads of it. I think we're in danger of repetition, deviation but not hesitation here; I remember Dandelions have been discussed at length at least once before.

A Daisy Grubber. In conjunction with a lighter if and when they flower.

Another Trump non-triumph. If it were any other country than Israel there would be international outrage.

Ham Hock. Unsmoked!

What, not even smoked bacon? Or smoked salmon?

You're not going to catch much from eating raw or blue steak, it's nothing like chicken for carrying pathogens. The health risk with US beef is the growth hormones, the degree of cooking, or not, does nothing to mitigate the negative impacts of growth hormones. You didn't elaborate on how The Donald is going to make US food healthier. Is this the thing about getting rid of all the horrible seed oils?

Do you think Grok will survive the Great Reset?

Yeah, should be. I couldn't work out what the colours signify, but I guess deciduous or non-deciduous. I only had a quick glance at it.

Or is our hob too clean?

I take it you're offended by the fact that I used smoked?

Photos are always welcome Henry. Also, what are you planning to do with the timber, firewood?

Smoked tofu stir fry.

Seriously, you think he is going to make American "food" healthier? I dont. They invented most of the crap, driven by the need to make ever more profit from food and agriculture. If anything he'll be trying to sneak even more oil derived compounds into his people's mouths. Drill baby drill and all that. Probably not colourings though, that was last century, there's far more harmful and more importantly profitable additives being used these days. Also, don't forget that Trump is still trying to push their growth hormone laden beef and chlorinated chicken onto our UK plates. Our beef is "weak" don't you know!

Thanks for your input Davey, but I think the conversation has reached a higher level now.

I don't think anyone is objecting to Trump's desire to bring more of the US manufacturing back onshore Gareth. That's an admirable goal after all, though it's never going to be entirely achievable. What people are objecting to is the way in which he is trying, and failing, to go about it. (I intentionally say Trump, and not the American people, because I suspect that the majority are now starting to realise the colossal mistake that it is turning out to be. (Despite the fact that he was democratically elected.)) With hindsight I believe it will be far from Liberation Day. If you actually took the time to understand how the tariffs were calculated, you'd realise that it's more or less economic nonsense. The global market turmoil that's now unfolding is clearly a reflection of that. Read that FT article, they're hardly a left wing student publication are they? With one fell sweep Mr Trump has hit some of the poorest countries in the world with yet more economic hardship, and simultaneously plunged the rest of the world into a cluster**************** of as yet unknown magnitude. Welcome to the global trade war. And guess what? The poor middle Americans that he's meant to serve will be effected as badly, if not worse than the rest of us. I'm bemused that anyone would still seek to defend all the actions of the potus.

I've never quite got my head around the idea of agroforestry. You can obviously grow a wide variety of fruit, nuts and seeds on the trees themselves, but I'm not sure how you can get enough light, (and water), underneath them to grow all the veggies or anything else. Maybe it's just a sparse forest with lots of clearings.

Donald Trump baffles economists with tariff formula ON.FT.COM Calculation deeply flawed economically and will fail in stated aim of ‘driving bilateral trade deficits to zero’, say analysts

Yeah, Totness is a bit of a strange place, always has been. Very "alternative" let's say. It's a shame that they barely talked about the Forest Garden in that report, much more detail on the agroforestry would have been better. Its an interesting and potentially fruitful research topic.

Field Maple is a good shout, the bark on #2 looks most like that. That big fat black bud on a green twig is a major anomaly though. The only one I can be sure of is #3 being Beech.
