Avid Gardener Wondering Is There Anything To Watch For Gardening With Gluten?

Also I eventually broke down and bought a.... darn I can't think of the name of it... the one I bought was a good one from Italy... you put the tomatoes in the top and turn the handle and it separates the skins from the pulp of the tomatoes. You then freeze that separated "sauce". It was expensive but when you grow a gazillion tomatoes, well worth it.

That sounds like grandma's Foley Food Mill. She used it for applesauce. Just boiled the apples skins, seeds and all and put them through it. Hers was very affordable and they still sell them.

I use corn gluten fertilizer on my lawn and it contains....wheat!!! Sheesh.

Did any one read the post on gluten and breast milk? Seems that gluten is being found in breast milk. I am wondering if our bodies are excreating the gluten protein what are the plants doing when being fed fertilizer with wheat in it. I am going to ask my DD who is a microbiologist about this.

I asked around before we threw them away to see if anyone wanted to use them

I used to have a friend who used them for crafts. She spray painted them black glued eyes on them and put pipe cleaners for legs and an elastic string on them. They made the cutest spiders. She sold them at craft shows for a buck a piece. The kids loved them.

I read in a magazine last month (either BHG or real simple) that you can also use the "egg-water" when you hard boil eggs, just let it cool, and dump it out in the garden, and I guess it has calcium or some such nutrient plants like.

I do that with my house plants and they thrive on it.

A couple people have mentioned freezing tomatoes. I wish I had known you could do that last year when I was up to my ears in them! What's the best way to do this? Do you have to peel them or anything?

I also put them in boiling water for a minute and slip off the skins, dry them and pop them in ziplock bags. I also make my own flavored kinds as well. For itilian I add basil or itilaian seasoning and a pinch of sugar, mexican add cumin, salt, peppers and onions or you can just add the cumin and salt and put the peppers and onion in when you cook. I put in 2 cups of tomatoes to a bag. I like adding the herbs in with the tomatoes as it give them time to meld.

Thanks for the help :) I just planted my tomatoes yesterday. Planning on doing some serious salsa/sauce making and freezing, possibly canning if I can put up with my grandma for an afternoon or two, so I planted 6!!! Whew!

Anyone ever tried growing their tomatoes as "hanging plants"? Read an article about it last summer, and dying to try!

Just planted 4 tomato plants and 12 pepper plants, plus I'm trying something new! Wildflowers! Anybody ever had any experience growing them from seeds! I am excited.

Well sheeesh eh... I have been so completely swamped with tasks here lately that I haven't had much chance to get any where near my gardens, (AND da fact is we in BC's "lower mainland/fraser valley" are experiencing EXTREMELY unseasonable COLD weather, like even snow for pity sakes in April :o So gee whiz eh, reading all yer posts about all yer "plantings" has definetly turned me here GREEN wit envy :lol:

Oh well... certainly, our turn does have to come eventually huh ;) (Jist hoping/praying is soon!) Anyhoo though in the meantime... I have been mulling over the prospects of "trading seeds" with others on this forum as was discussed earlier. While I absolutely relish the idea of doing so, I gotta admit it has struck me now, "exactly how do we do that"? I'm wondering because of course, given "general internet safety" and "online prudence", I don't think it is either wise or recommended to "post one's actual contact info" so that EVERYONE in the entire whole dang world can "read/obtain" it besides the individual/s intended? Least anyhoo, I myself really would not be comfortable or inclined to disclose my actual address online. What about you Judyin Philly... were ya just gonna post me yer address to send ya the seeds at, or? :huh:

I think my email is open on here if you go my profile.

I think i forgot to take it off once.

Since we have personal messaging options on here we could send our emails that way.

it would be secure and only you and I would see it.

I've just been so busy in the garden i haven't even been on line much.

I'm open to it though.

Help!! My container garden is flopping. Everything came up but doesn't seem to be growing. In the last month they are tiny just seedlings really. These are the tomatoes and the herbs. Don't know what I am doing wrong. The peas came up great, got about 2-3 feet tall, flowered and then turned yellow and are dying and have little holes in them. The green beans look ok and are getting bigger but the cukes are also turning yellow. I am not watering too much or too little am wondering if the dirt I got is no good and need to fertilize. What do ya'll think. I have never had a problem with growing before.

How grows your garden?

I just went out today to check mine and found a tomato on the ground with a big chunk out of it and what looks like claw marks. :angry: It was one of two that JUST started to turn color. I've been waiting for weeks! It's the second one I've lost and it seems like such a loss. I'm assuming it was a squirrel and there's not much I can do I guess. I've been watching them grow for so long. A friend gave me 4 big boy? or better boy? plants and this is my first time with regular tomatoes. Mine are almost 6 feet tall now and heavy with huge fruit.

I have alot of shiso and feel it's such a waste of such a good herb. I want to eat it all but not sure how to use it much. We've had it in hand rolled sushi and may use some in tempura. Both very yummy but not everyday food.

My husband is lazy about mowing the lawn but the birds and bunnies are quite happy with that. Bunny ate the first two zucchini flowers off so I put a makeshift fence around the-dog and bird cage- but have to figure something else out when the plants get a little bigger.

      The easiest way to remember the difference between the cholesterol types is HDL;   H=healthy equals healthy (omega 3, 7, limit 6 & 9 MCFA'S =Medium Chain Fatty Acids. 3= coconut oil, 7= sunflower oil, avocado. The higher your HDL the healthier you are & less likely to experience strokes, clogged arteries Etc. You can even use cold expeller pressed coconut oil on your skin and that is the best kind of coconut oil to eat as well. You want your HDL much higher than your LDL, it will help you stay healthy.   LDL;    L=Lousy. Meat fats, processed fats.  The higher your LDL is the more likely you will have strokes, clogged artery is, heart disease, fatty liver.   Then there's lipids... they are the culprit to be blamed for many heart attacks and things like that they are very small round particles that transport fats. You can have a low overall cholesterol reading and most of it be healthy cholesterol and have a ton of lipids and there's nothing you can do to change the lipid count. High number of lipids is very dangerous.   I'm going on statins is extremely dangerous if you ask me it's just completely my opinion, because I have seen so many of my elderly friends bleed to death internally because of the statins. I mean you wouldn't take all the oil and grease out of your car or a motorcycle and then try to drive it that way would you? You see that's what statins do they remove all of your bodies fats and it doesn't matter whether it's healthy fats or a lousy fats. It removes all of them and then your body can't function properly. You have to have fats to keep your skin supple and to stay warm. Your body also needs fats to digest & process certain nutrients, amino acids & vitamins.   Your brain is composed of fat so is that something you really want to remove with a pill every morning and night?   The thing about statins is that they also make the blood vessels and capillaries permeable. So this is how my friends who were on cardiac medication for a long time and statins ended up bleeding internally to death.   If you want to make sure that your heart is healthy, take odorless garlic at night and magnesium, vitamin K & calcium.

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info
