Good morning, Psillies!

Wow, we have some GREAT, mild weather upon us.....and through the weekend. :)

Going for an outdoor run this am. This is the time of year when the dogs come back very messy...the only minus to spring has sprung .. . . ...

Where in hell is everyone? Hope we hear from Sooooozie, Nikerler, Joooles today......and Ptaoughmghmn again, after his sudden drive-by a couple of days ago. . . ..

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!!!

jerseyangel Proficient

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

Okey dokey. Put my red wine pudding onto purple's side dish thread. I am quite certain that all the non-silly readers will find the idea fascinating. :P

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)

MUST read up on Jess's red wine pudding.............

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?

      Thank you very much for your reply and the information. I much appreciate it

      Since I've been a member of this forum,  I've seen some people write that they have not been able to tolerate corn, and others nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers (including bell peppers, chili peppers, and paprika).    However, intolerances can be short term, just while you are healing.    So bear this in mind if you start dropping certain foods from your diet - you may well be able to eat them again once you are healed.

      Welcome to the forum, @Izelle! Normally, the diagnosis of celiac disease involves two stages.  The first stage involves a simple blood test that looks for antibodies that are pretty specific to celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the small bowel which produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood with tests specifically designed for this purpose. There are a number of these tests that can be run. Some are more specific for celiac disease and thus more reliable than others. The two most common antibody tests ordered by physicians when diagnosing celiac disease are the "total IGA" and the "tTG-IGA" test. At least these two should always be ordered. Here is a an article outlining the subject matter of celiac antibody tests:  If the tTG-IGA levels are 10x normal then it is becoming common practice in some countries to grant a celiac diagnosis on the bloodwork alone. The second stage involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to look for the damage to the small bowel lining typically caused by celiac disease's inflammatory process over time. This is usually done in response to one or more positives from the blood antibody testing and constitutes confirmation of the antibody testing to eliminate the possibility of false positives.

      Hi there, Please can you tell me exactly how this disease is diagnosed? I am also from South Africa Regards Izelle
    • Waterdance
      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.
