I was having massive issues including not being able to breath. But he said it wasn't an allergy but solanine poisoning. I went off of them and a lot of problems I've had all my life went away - well after about eight months it takes a long time to get that stuff out of your system. It has a long half life in your body and hides out in things like your bones. If I eat any little bit they will come back for a couple of weeks. So I'm obviously sensitive to them. I find it very sad since I so love chili peppers and who doesn't love tomatoes and potatoes? All my cooking included them. I had to totally change what I ate. It has been a long slow process trying to get recipes that I love and my husband loves without them.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-78244152526427919662012-07-31T06:19:58.811-04:002012-07-31T06:19:58.811-04:00My garden is on the side of my house.

So it is a larger lot than most have around here, but still it isn't big. The garden takes up one side of the house and part of the back yard. The rest of the yard is landscaped with a mix of edible fruit and ornamentals. I have about 570 sqft of raised bed that is crammed really tight. The paths are very narrow, only 19" wide to get that much in.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-78572064506075285032012-07-31T00:37:02.515-04:002012-07-31T00:37:02.515-04:00I'm envious of your garlic harvest.
