This super muesli is something I prefer to prepare fresh each time I eat it, rather than making a large batch in advance. I enjoy the simple ritual of putting everything together, especially chopping the nuts and dried apricots so they are freshly prepared. It also gives me better control over my daily nutrient intake. For example, if two Brazil nuts provide my full selenium requirement, I can easily keep track and ensure I’ve had just the right amount.

If you are looking for an easier way to keep track of your vegetable garden planting then you can’t go much further than this very pretty vintage style poster. I call it the Crop Rotation Poster as it covers the planning and cultivation of your garden for a 4 year cycle. So you check the season and then find out what to plant or sow for the time of year, how to cultivate and care for your plants, or any other seasonal task that you can do. Great gif you are just starting out in the garden and need some guidance. Also looks very beautiful when framed and put on the wall.
