RE: The Deadpost Initiative - Week 38 - Share your most undervalued work ($15 STEEM rewards last week)
Well that's a good question Phe! I think she's eaten some but they seemed small. The plants were all small & spindly. Hard to imagine as the plants are usually so large & lush. When i grew them they really helped build my confidence becsuse the plants were huge! The potatoes did well too. Guess will see what this crop will be like. The soil we used was really not very good. We will be harvesting soon. Fall is really setting in quickly it seems. No matter how much i ignore it!i am never ready to let summer go! Such a bummer to have no potatoes even though the plant looked successful on the outside. Mother Nature just being a tease! Have you tried again since or have you taken a break from trying your luck at potatoes?
Turns out I'm allergic to potatoes, so I gave up!
Mother Nature was looking out for you! I have read that there are potato allergies. Some ppl feel/ behave intoxicated after eating them. What reaction do you have?
Mine turned out to be what a previous doctor had years prior brushed off as, "You have IBS. That's usually caused by anxiety. You should learn to meditate." Green leafies caused the same reaction, and are also an allergen.
Yeah, no, doc, I had FOOD ALLERGIES and I might have had relief a decade earlier if you had RUN A TEST instead of patting me on the head and being condescending...
I had the kind of "IBS" where I was in so much pain it could eclipse my endometriosis pain; my stomach would distend so much I looked pregnant and my pants didn't fit; and, well, the plumbing was either clogged or on full blast. And lots of painful, trapped gas. I drank on average four ginger ales a day trying to control it because nothing else helped. I still drink a lot of ginger ale but on average about one a day now. I wonder if the remaining issues are a food I haven't eliminated yet, but it's a world of difference from how I was!
