I have a spinal cord stimulator implanted, it's 2 electrical leads in my epidural space & a battery pack just below my waist. It sends out electrical impulses that confuse/interrupt the pain signals to the brain. It's been a life saver. I also have hardware from previous surgeries. You can...
I have tried every single type of lavender ever grown. It hates me. :lau Next time I go to the garden store I'll pick up another tho. I always do, then I swear off it, then I try again.
It's only 11 & I have gotten so much done. I love my new back electronics, my back is hanging in there...
I do but I can't get it to live thru the winter here. :hit Technically it should, & sometimes it will live one winter just to die the next. I tried to start some from seeds this year but the seeds were very old.
Oh, I meant to ask you bee people - do you have a bee waterer you can recommend for me to put in the garden? I see they make little cup one, ones with marbles, little stairs for a bird bath, etc. Is any one better - are some just gimmicks?
I ordered a SS hose too, should be here tmrw. I got a 4 way splitter for the garden at TS tonight, I'm so excited I won't have to water a thing, just flip some valves. :yesss:
Of course while I was in TS their seeds were on clearance so I might have gotten a whole bunch of all sorts of...
That didn't last long. :lau
The thought of cucumber beetles just creeps me out.
I got all the soaker hoses in too, one day I'll get an irrigation system in. I just need like a 5 foot piece of connector hose to go from tomatoes to cukes & I'll have it all down to 3 zones.
Something ate half of my cucumber starts. I even have them covered with hardware cloth. 🙄
I think I'm going to not cover any of my veggies this year. :eek: I'm growing every thing on trellises so hopefully that will help with the squash bug & cucumber beetles. I have too much growing to...
I have this on the border of my garden & driveway. I think it's so pretty & it chokes out all the weeds. It creeps a lot but if it goes too far we just drive over it or step on it & it's gone. It's some type of sedum.
My EWO... I planted them a couple years ago & thought they all died...
I had NO idea they made stainless steel hoses! I use the shrinky dink ones because it hurts my back to roll them up, but they only last a few years. I may have to get a ss one next time.
The pollen is so bad here, I walked outside yesterday to collect eggs & started choking, my throat felt like it was closing up. It was super windy yesterday, better today so not as bad.
I went to get some flowers to fill in for the bolted spinach & they gave me a couple jalapenos for free...
I air fried them like chips last time & they were great!
Haha, at least it was an easy fix!
Iris & Spiderwart blooming.
Girls made quick work of spreading the chips.
I got a good 1/3 of the garden cardboarded & mulched. I didn't have enough cardboard to do the lower part. That's more work than I've done in the last 2 years (cuz of my back surgeries). Felt good to move. I may regret it tmrw tho. :lau
Butterfly weed looks like it's going to burst...
