getting less squeamish, anything I shouldn't 'eat around?'
Comments (10)I would think that plant diseases are very different from human diseases (we're in completely different kingdoms!), so it would be very unlikely that, say, TMV would infect a human. I think if there was anything very dangerous you could get from garden vegetables, we would be hearing about it. The media gets us all scared about so many things, I'd be surprised if they didn't spread the alarm all around about something like this. The main thing I'm scared of are parasites, but then again I've been watching that show Monsters Inside Me on Animal Planet that got the idea in my head. There's some sort of a bad parasite you can get from snails, and I sometimes harvest greens and herbs that I find snails in. I think I've caught all of them so far before they got eaten, but sometimes there are really tiny baby snails that could be overlooked. But with all the food recalls, finding E. coli and salmonella in such innocent-seeming things like canteloupe and spinach, we're probably actually safer eating stuff we grow ourselves....See Morewanted: deb!!!! you shouldn't have, but -
Comments (39)I used to wear Tretorns to play tennis when I lived in San Francisco, but I never had shoe sachets for them! I bought Tretorns because they were all white, and I bought Tretorn tennis balls because back then they were also white. Shoe sachets sound like a really good idea! I love soup, but it's far from soup weather here, as it was in the 90s in L.A. today. I will still look forward to seeing more soup recipes in the future, however.

Comments (11)fallingwaters; first of all, know that your you and your dh, and his hea lth care prov iders are in my prayers. Your priorities are in the right place, although I know there is some disappointment after getting so much in place for the renovation. I, too, put off my kitchen for a year. My MIL fractured her hip and was having repeated complications, my husbands workload increased at work and by being the primary healthcare surrogate for his mom. I sensed that just having the stress of ripping out the kitchen -- but also of not HAVING a functional kitchen, was a bit more than our family could deal with. My kitchen is a place of respite, even if in it's current state it isn't perfect. My experience has been like needssometips and jreuter. I saved up some more $$. I'm not putting that extra into the kitchen, but it is giving us a bit more of a cushion. 2. I've gotten just about every wee decision made, down to the gar bage di sposal, and what I'm lining the drawers with. Except for the darn faucet. Still trying to figure it out. In the next few months as you go thru this with your husband, there will likely be times when you feel out of control. Looking at pulls and such and making a few decisions unrelated to the health aspects may help you get a feeling of control back. And in the middle of the night, when you can't sleep, no doubt someone has posted a tittilating post (I know that isn't spelled right) that may take your mind off the stressors for a few minutes....See MoreI heard you shouldn't plant broccoli next to green beans...
Comments (17)Hokum abounds in this business. Carrots don't love tomatoes, but they do tolerate each other. Carrots and tomatoes mainly love themselves, which is as it should be. Agreed that if you've got broccoli growing next to green beans, you have your seasons confused. It's not that they don't like each other, but more that you don't like them enough to plant them properly. With all due respect to her love of gardening, Louise Riotte, who wrote "Carrots Love Tomatoes", was a practicing astrologer, and strongly influenced by her herbalist mother. Hokum abounds....See MoreKaren10125
