Monarda fistulosa (wild bergamot / bee balm)
  • One of my favorites! I have the red variety here, and have a mixed color seed packet i didnt get around to planting this year. I love the flavor of the flowers and leaves in tea! If you're sick with any sort of sinus thing, tea with beebalm clears it out almost instantly, and keepy you clear while drinking the tea, and up to 15 mins after.

    The plant tastes like oregano with a hint of an orange citrus taste.

  • Is there anything I can do locally (on a standard residential lot) to improve the particulate pollution (~PM2.5) levels outdoors around my house? (and possibly my neighbors' too?)
  • Thats... So many really good questions. The only one I can answer is that rain definitely reduced the pm2.5 levels at our house. Before it rained, the smoke was below the tops of the trees and according to my phone, we were in the 150+ range. After the rain, it was easier to breathe and no warning on the phone. So mist will likely help better than a stream. I imagine (but lack evidence for) wet leaves remove more particles from the air if there is a breeze. Im not sure how you would go about devising an experiment to test for that though. I think your bong would have to be very big to have an appreciable effect, but you might have a better time of it if you can make it like a wall you put on the upwind side of your property so it filters air coming in.

  • Comcast Has Raised The Price of Its Fees, Adding $40.31 in Broadcast TV & RSN Fees to Its Xfinity TV Plans
  • Comcast is the only ISP available here, but at least I was able to lock in gigabit for 90/month for 3 years. This is the 3rd year, so Im afraid to find out what hoops I'll have to jump through to keep internet this time. In the past, cancelling and having someone else sign up for service same day has been the go to. Hoping that still works.
