A few days ago I saw a Salt Lamp on one of the blogs I follow and, after discussing it with Doug, we decided to buy one so on Monday as we were in town we went to the Himalayan Trading Post, a shop run by the local Buddhist Centre, and purchased one. We are pleased with our purchase which gives off a pleasant glow and, apparently, has other properties.
It has been another "at home" day and I have been re-potting more plants. Our tomatoes are coming on nicely and we are looking forward to them ripening.
The beans that I received from fellow blogger, Jean,are doing well but not flowering yet. I think they are Carioca beans from Brazil but we call them "Jean's Beans". The dwarf ones I bought and the Dalmation beans are both cropping well.
I have a large one I was given as a birthday present last year from my sister, I don't know if it has any properties but it looks good, apparently you have to keep it away from cats.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought of cats licking them. Ours is reasonably high up but perhaps it should be higher.
DeleteTom Grandson bought me a salt lamp a couple of Christmases ago and I love the glow. You are right they are supposed to have health properties, not sure what. Didn't know about the cats but like your other commenter ours is high up on a shelf.

Yes, we bought it because it has a nice glow.
DeleteI think the jury is out on the alleged health benefits of Himalayan salt. If it's a nice lamp, that's sufficient,
ReplyDeleteWe bought it for its nice gentle glow.
DeleteI have never heard of a salt lamp but I will look it up . Your tomato plants look very healthy.
ReplyDeleteWe just bought a small one but they had some really large. Yes, fingers crossed, the tomatoes are looking good.
Deleteyour swap seeds are doing well down here, we do have beans on two plants, we called the Carioca seeds " Triffids" as they suddenly shot up and were full of new pods. I think you have identified them correctly, I did lots of seaching to try and find their proper name.
ReplyDeleteI posted the poppy seeds on Monday (or Tuesday) and a packet on the 30th November.
DeleteWe have been thinking about getting a salt lamp, we just need to get out and look. Your tomatoes look very good.
ReplyDeleteWe are lucky as there is no problem going out to shop. I do hope things start to improve over there before too long.
DeleteAfter study few of the articles on your blog nowadays, and that i like your approach of blogging. I tag it to my favorites net site list and can be checking back soon. Please visit my web site too and let me grasp your thought. Himalayan salt tiles
