What did you do in the garden today?

Nice! What kind are they?

Red beefsteak..Arkansas traveler and Triple crop.. if I remember correctly. Had a few seeds left from last year

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.

Have you tried spelt and sourdough?! Spelt usually doesn’t cause as much problems and because sourdough takes some time, it reduces the ingredients which cause the problems

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.

I'm originally from Indiana and I love the warmer climate and sunshine

I know about nightshade being bad for people who have inflammatory issues, but…. I love tomatoes and bell peppers I don’t need eggplant or potatoes… so, I never managed to test the theory, I love tomatoes and bell peppers too much

I will try sourdough! Thank you, forgot about that.
I've tried Ezekiel bread...not a fan, not good even if toasted, kinda like cardboard.

I bought a cordless mini chainsaw, too, but I do more work on stuff like privet and small trees with my hedge clippers.

For the bigger stumps I use my reciprocating saw (I use a longer blade than pictured):

Example of before and after using them:

I definitely need the hedge clippers! We have electric ones and I've lost count how often we've accidentally chopped the cord.

Do bell peppers upset anyone's stomach here? I can only eat them well sautéed. Other peppers do not give me indigestion...weird right? The orange, yellow & red bells do not bother tummy as bad but those green ones, whoa momma, they actually give me like an acid refux reaction.

Same here! Trimmed the cord! I laugh now but at the time I wasn't laughing.

Rain coming tonight- tomorrow. Trying glass gem corn this year. I have not grown popcorn in many years. Found some old popcorn seed that I need to test germinate. It is my own creation of a Indian or calico type. First started it 50 years ago when none were available. I like striped kernels.

Where did you get your Glass Gem seeds?
