Although GH is also produced by mammary tumors in dogs, there has been no report with clinically obvious acromegaly induced by GH-producing mammary tumors. Excess growth hormone invariably results in insulin resistance at the hepatic and muscular level, resulting in heightened insulin production.
Harvest your spring radishes, including âWhite Burpee,â âEaster Egg,â or âPlum Purple,â within 30 to 60 days after sowing. Monitor the radishes daily during this period by pushing the ground away from the vegetables and checking their size. Look for ripe spring radishes of 1 inch in diameter.
Ginger root harvested in mid-spring will be tender. The next best harvest is in July. Ginger harvested in early fall tends to be more woody. The root can be used fresh, sliced, chopped or grated, or it can be dried and ground. Whether dried or fresh, the root will have a sweet but hot flavour. When fresh, however, the root will have citrus notes as well that are missing in the dried. In Western cooking, ginger is mostly used dried and ground. Pickled ginger is used a lot in Japanese cooking. India is now largest producer of dried, ground ginger. When buying fresh ginger, choose pieces with tight skin and no wrinkles.
