I'm off this weekend because I've worked during the week! Someone is looking out for me!!!! :D I'm planning on some pond repair! The deer have been punching holes in the plastic with their little hooves :( . I'm going to have to refigure the sides to protect it better.

Also want to go to the art/craft fair in Md on Sunday. Probably the only type of shopping I LIKE to do!

Hey Bev-really....how have you been doing with your sales? Any luck? Hope so!

Ok fellow gardeners...I am new at this-

So this question will be aimed at Judy and Patti and maybe Em since we all live in the strange artic climate.

When does one plant a garden initially? How soon should I begin this work--tis only the 1st weekend of March but still....Help!!!

Amanda--do you mean a veggie garden or flowers?

In general, you should wait until after the last frost for flowers, shrubs and things like that. I'm not too familiar with veggie gardens. I used to have one years ago....there are a couple things I think you can plant early, but I used to have tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, and lettuce--and those I planted in probably mid-late May.

You can get the ground ready earlier, though--if you need to till. That way you'll be all set to go when it gets warm enough.

I'm sure other green-thumbed sillies will be of more help :D

But will it be the same coloUr as your gnee???? ( :o Sore! Ouch!)

Amanda!...going along with Patti's advice (I think our climes are fairly similar)....don't plant anything out 'til the end of May (you still get night frosts up 'til then)

ThereZAH!...don't be jealous! ....GADS woman!!! .....I have a tiny wee garden (NOT like your garden land!) ..and when I say 'MINI' greenhouse I MEAN mini!!!!!

Tareeeeesuh! I will tell you what you need - - like my father, you need to be armed with a marshmallow gun. A couple o' those pelted onto the sides of those deer's heads should keep them away. Enviornmentally friendly, humane. . . .. ....what a perfect solution! Perfect like my dad's situation in the boring, depressing, often victimizing atmosphere of the hospital. :lol:

Ahmanduh! The golden rule around here is to turn the soil over and work it a bit in early May, and plant on our long holiday weekend (usually around the 16-18 May). That's for both flowers and veggies. What are you planting? How exciting.....yer first garden in your new home! :)

Tel back from the docs today......... had his blood pressure checked (was too high last time)......... now it's TOO LOW :blink:

His cholesterol is too high again (can you say bacon fried in butter :P )......... but at least the doc DIDN'T advise him to eat wholegrain wheat and oats to help bring it down :rolleyes:

T mentioned his hive breakout,......as expected the doc didn't really know why although he thought it was 'something to do with his coeliac disease'

This made me giggle :lol: (dunno why)

This is good news, Nik! :)

Um, this is likely gonna cause eye-rollin' (like, as if you hadn't thought of this) :rolleyes: , but on the very rare occasion when I break out DH, it is very hive-like and sore. Could it have been a wicked DH episode?

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
