Ooh--I love all this garden talk (furiously taking notes here :lol: )

I have a couple plants that I stick with--the ones I can't kill. ;) I'm in the process of putting in a perinneal garden--trying to anyway.....any thoughts on varities that grow well in full sun?

I was considering a muumuu and a wide brimmed hat for such purposes, but was thrust back to reality to me jeans and t-shirts B)

Why is it that when we think of gardening, we always picture a lovely woman in a breezy sundress, with a sweet straw hat? When I garden, I'm in my grodiest old shorts, holey tank top, and am covered in dirt and sweat from head to toe. <_<

Irises and lillies both do well in full sun, and come in every color you can think of. Dianthus and poppies are good, too... although poppies are SUPPOSED to be perennials, I can never get them to come back personally. <_< Lots of roses love the sun. Daffodils, of course, and Hyacinth.

Also don't forget about flowering shrubs and bushes... Crepe Myrtles are very pretty. I like the type with the smooth, graceful trunks, not the spiky ones. Forsythias are wonderful when they're well-kept (they grow wild around here a lot, and the wild ones get big and spiky, and not as nice.)

Gladiolas can take a lot of sun, but I've found they do best if they get a little shade in the afternoon. Tulips also do well in the sun, but both of these are a little higher maintenance-- in PA you probably would have to dig up the bulbs in the fall and replant them at the very beginning of spring. In NC, as long as they're well-mulched, I don't have to do this. ^_^ Also, glads can get VERY tall, and may need to be supported.

Although I like to buy local when I can, the big mail order companies like Open Original Shared Link and Open Original Shared Link can't be beat for the variety they offer. You could do whole gardens of lillies with all the varieties available.

Sigh... I want more flowers. :lol:

I swear I have a black thumb.....I have even killed a cactus....and those are so low maintence its not funny!

I have, too!!! :lol: I think it's because they're so low maintenance... you think they just don't ever need water at all, and then... OOPS. :lol:

Ok I am going to ask you guys a question and if you feel the need to get mad at me please do....

But do all of you guys buy organic? I still buy reg. foods.....just wondering once I hear your answers I will tell you why I asked...

Like Patti, I buy organic if I can, but definitely not all the time, or even that much. It's too darn expensive! I bought a couple bags of organic carrots the other day, since they were only a few cents more than conventional.

I know a lot of people on these forums buy all organic, but I could not possibly afford it.

I try to do vegetable gardens, where I can control what goes on the produce- and you can produce huge amounts of food for super cheap. But I wasn't well enough to do a garden this year. :(

Hey! I wanna see some tattooed grandmas!!

1st thought same. 2nd thought "ack why would I wanna see that?!"

Sarah, there IS a little giddy thrill from something so simple as another possible restaurant, isn't there? :)

Jess - as a matter of fact, no, I do not know how expensive those things are. :P

Hmmmm Knick's phluids . ..post count just over 2450 . .. ..thread post 17165 .. ..member #3991 .... hmmm I'm stuck .. .maybe I should check the temp in London ....or just multiply all the above numbers by 9/5ths and add 32?

BRB

Composted manure is the best!!! I use it in my beds, too... horseshit everywhere around here. (<giggle> That does sound funny.)

Had to augment a tad to join the giggles <_<:D

Organic - I don't go out of my way for it either.

Vanessa Carlton plays The Park tonight. How can I NOT go? Hmmm wonder who the opener is .. . .

Mygawd....all this talk of successful gardening and organic eating. I'm outta me league.....

I have lots of tiger and day lilies scattered all about, and scads of evening primrose (yellow is my coloUr). That's about it. A big rose bush, and climbing vines that have taken over the back of the house. I LOVE rocks....the bigger the better, so we have some incredible boulders out front that I love to sit on wif me cats. The dogs will not scramble upon them, quite oddly....

Rocks are the way to go. No watering, no pruning, no dying.....fascinating, delicious coloUrs....... :rolleyes::D

I don't buy organic. it is really too expensive. I just wash everything very well, and I buy local. Guess I should be growing my own....organic AND local!

Sarah--

Thank you!! :D I copied all of your suggestions down--I'll bet I can get everything here--we have a fantastic garden store, the nicest one I've ever been to, and it's like 5 minutes away!

Maybe if it looks good enough when I get it all planted (I started this spring, haven't done anything lately with all the heat), I can take a pic for me av) :D

And finally

Why is it that when we think of gardening, we always picture a lovely woman in a breezy sundress, with a sweet straw hat? When I garden, I'm in my grodiest old shorts, holey tank top, and am covered in dirt and sweat from head to toe. <_<

My idea of gardening is looking out my window thinking "hmm, I should get someone to get rid of all that weird viny stuff in my yard." Or I ask my neighbor if I should keep some particular thing or not. Or, I go by the old standby, if there is more than one of them, it must be a weed.

My idea is quite similar: look out window, and think, "hmmmmm, there's a spot that could explode with flowering weed....must put another boulder down".

Hi, everybody.

I don't go out of my way to buy organic. Some of the specialty items we buy because of their gluten-free status also happen to be organic, but it is the gluten-free attribute, not organic, that drives those buying decisions. I'm just not convinced that the extra cost is justified. My opinion, yours may vary.

So far, there has been no rain since I got up this morning. It has been a while since we have had such a day in these parts. Toronto has already set an all-time record for rainfall in the combined months of June and July and there is an entire week still to go.

I need them to come over and diffuse my home situation.... . . Jack is yelling at Sophie that she has the fattest behind he's ever seen, and she's screaming back something about his bovine aroma.

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."
