What did you do in the garden today?

[Liz Birdlover]

Experiment. Cut back.

If I splurge and eat pizza with sauce I pay the price the next day.

Pizza...with me it isn't sauce but rather the dough or any breads that mess me up, pain wise & entire digestive system. I guess that would be gluten issues, & not nightshade issues. Darn shame. I've tried cauliflower pizza crust, yuck, not a fan of that.

I’d go crazy if I could never have hot peppers again.

Ditto. Peppers are what clear my sinuses!

I love my tomatoes. Planting these outside today !!!

 

[Liz Birdlover]

Yes, that is a hyacinth. They smell lovely! The bulb is about the size of a fist.

Here's something my mom taught me about 55 (!) years ago. If you want to pick them, pull the stem straight up.

Are anti-inflammatory?? Going to have some with lunch today!

A few supplements help me, turmeric, tart cherry, etc. Been rubbing castor oil on after shower b4 bed for over a week. I skipped a day just to see if there was a difference & there actually was more achy stiffness when I did the morning stretches to get mobile for the day. Does it really work or is it the act of rubbing it on, like a mini massage, that is what's helping? All I know is I feel better than I did so I'm keeping it up. Skin isn't as dry either. Give it a try.

I get some thick castor oil in my palm & mix a Lavender or coconut lotion with it to make it easier to smooth on. I have a swelling above the knee bad, knee pain all down both sides of knee, ice packs help but I swear the rubbing on of this mixture made the swelling almost disappear. I have a meniscus issue, already had surgery 2009 & now it's back, so this castor oil has been my mini miracle. I need to work, sometimes wearing knee pads to paint shoe mold or install flooring, pull weeds & garden with my flock which I love to do...I cannot have that knee affecting my lifestyle, so I am loving castor oil these says.

I went looking for information to share about Nightshade vegetables and inflammation.

I had to switch browsers to find this site, which is all about common sense:

Be informed and open to different ideas.

I'm in Florida so my growing season starts a little earlier.

They look great! I wish I lived in a warmer climate like Florida. It's in the 40Fs for the highs here this week. Last night got down to 26F for the low.
