Did they recommend any exercises?
Hope your bumble foot heals quickly. Sometimes I think Drs make things worse.

No. It is going to heal this time. Not as deep and smaller diameter. It was dry before the DR messed with it. Just set it back IMO. It will get a scab this time. It started to.

Crushing sorghum cane is a LOT of work. We have a festival here that showcases the harvest, crushing, gathering and boiling of the liquid down to sorghum syrup. We grew it two years in a row. The seed went to the hens and the cane we gave to the festival in exchange for the syrup.
Mules turned the crushers/crimper extractors.

That’s it for me. The tomatoes are flowering and the lemon tree is still putting out new flowers; it sounds like a bee hive out there after it warms up

Ah, you give me hope. That all just sounds lovely. We're supposed to have highs in the 50s and 60s and no rain till Tuesday so I should be able to get some work done outside. Buying a few 6packs of veg has also been a good impetus to get more of the beds cleaned up and ready for planting.

I have been adding compost, but will look for the Kellogg organic raised bed soil. Thanks for the tip!

Yw. It's cheaper than miracle grow and we only add a few bags to the top of the raised beds.

Planted the persimmon seedlings. Easy with the bulb auger on a cordless drill. I noticed skeeter wigglers in a neglected bucket. Scooped them out with the aquarium net. Fed them to the guppies. Glass top on aquarium so no escapes into the house.

I planted snow peas and set out some kale seedlings in the garden this morning. And watered my tomato and pepper seedlings indoors.

I picked up the baby chicks. I think these chicks are close to a week old. They already have feathers growing on them. I suspect they were kept under a heat lamp because they seem really confused and don’t want to venture out from under the brooder plate. This little girl got lost coming home from the food dish. Lol!

It finally warmed up a bit but the wind is too much to try to work outside. Fingers crossed, it will improve tomorrow.
