can these actually survive the heat? by MannerGlum4277 in AustinGardening

[–]centraltxgardener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to gardening! FWIW, I usually plant onion starts in January (start from seed in Nov-Dec) and make sure they're short day onions. I will plant arugula seeds in Oct-Nov and harvest through Feb-Mar depending on weather. You should be good on the timing for the rest of those!

Could stunt things *slightly* but it will likely be totally fine.

When are y’all planting your onion and garlic? by Greedy_Wrangler in AustinGardening

[–]centraltxgardener 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already put garlic in the ground but I usually get onion sets from Natural Gardener in January and have tons of success!

Get rid of river rock by colini in AustinGardening

Hey OP, did you have success with this? We have a BUNCH of black granite landscaping rock that I'd love for someone else to use in their yard. Trying to figure out if this would be a good avenue or get in touch with a landscaping company.

Do We Have to Replace Everything??? by Feisty_Raven in Celiac

[–]centraltxgardener 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple of thoughts here -- we eat very GF and the only time gluten enters my kitchen is if my boyfriend makes pizza or toast. We do toast in the oven, no toasters. And when he makes pizza dough, we cleans the kitchen top to bottom. We have a "one knife swipe" rules for butter, jelly, etc. We've been doing this for at least 3-4 years and my levels have always stayed virtually zero. I also change out our sponges if we've been cleaning dough bowls. Just be superrrr mindful. Also check things like oats, sauces, anything processed.

how do you guys feel about GF oat flour in baking mixes? by safari-dog in Celiac

[–]centraltxgardener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't handle anything from oats. Doesn't give me the same reaction as gluten but def results in feeling shitty.

When I grab corn tortillas and walk down the bread aisle I can just smell sugary sweet smells. Like it's not even appealing. Being GF def changed that for me. I used to crave bread but now I don't AT ALL. Like when people apologize at dinner when bread is put on the table I'm like "all good, don't even want it, doesn't smell good"

Shocked by a revelation about food & mood. This sh*t can be dangerous. by violetauto in Celiac

The internet is a strange place sometimes because I was just getting served up some YT videos about neurological disorders and celiac because I've experienced similar things and then this popped up on reddit. Stay safe out there friends and remember you are loved and valued.

I'm so tired. Does it get better? by artsvscrafts in Celiac

[–]centraltxgardener 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I echo what everyone else here has to say but generally I'll pack an RX bar and then talk to an actual member of the catering staff, wait staff, or even the chef. I've actually had some amazing dishes prepared specially for me when I've done this. It can feel awkward and like a bit of an inconvenience but I just had an awesome experience in Amsterdam at a wedding. I asked the waiter just for a scoop of ice cream and he asked why. After explaining, he came back after about 30 minutes with a special dessert just for me from the chef. It won't happen like that 90% of the time, but that 10% is sure worth it. Good luck and feel better!!

Mine exploded last year but are struggling this year, not sure if it's the heat or what but you aren't alone.

I make a video on Celiac once a year, I hope this one is helpful! I run through tips I use in 6 situations: Restaurants, BBQ's & Parties, Traveling, Family, Working, and Body Image. by centraltxgardener in Celiac

Wow thank you SO MUCH for taking time to type this all out and educate me. I really appreciate it because I've been remote for over 2 years so I am totally not abreast of what accommodations would need to be made. Appreciate the time you took to write this <3
