Had a toothache that started from working outside in the chill air when I couldn't breathe right. Pain was just one tooth yesterday and we picked up some orajel so I could sleep easier. This morning I look like a chipmunk. Originates from where I'd been putting the orajel.

Oops. Unknown allergy apparently. Benadryl taken. Tooth doesn't hurt anymore

So sorry to hear that! Hope you get to a dentist soon , before it gets worse.

I set the alarm early and it was gone when I woke up. I'd have called our dentist. They get emergencies in pretty quick.

Didnt really feel like an abcess. Had one of those before. My front teeth are very temperature sensitive. Sometimes they ache from me breathing through my mouth when I have a cold. I always wait a day or so to see what it's doing.

I'm still a little puffy. And very curious what in the orajel caused my reaction. Not the first (or 20th) time I reacted to a chemical. I'm weird on that. There's a lot of things I cannot use.

I'll take a picture and come back here...

OK, it's nothing special. Just a section of floating row cover over the top of the bucket, secured with a bungee cord. I'm not sure how I'm going to cover the diakon plants when they start growing out of the bucket.



Here are the berry cuttings I'm trying to root. Native red huckleberry cuttings in the two pots on the left, and the rest are black currants.

Bending stiff wire into hoops to form a sort of cage for the row cover to rest on? I think you’re smart to try to keep them covered. In this country I don’t know if those would grow without being wormy.

Think I will plant peas this morning.
Still to early plant much else.
I am itching to get the garden in.

Some cold mornings are forecast for next week, down to freezing.

That's fine I can cover them in tires they won't even
sprout yet.

Guess I'll cover the lettuce and brassicas with maple leaves to protect them a little. Glad I raked up all the maple leaves from the yard last fall and dumped them on the raised beds for mulch.
