What did you do in the garden today?

[fuzzi]

I'd never heard of a SS hose until I saw it in a catalog. I'd be up for replacing one hose at a time, if they are as good as they sound.

I have a LOT of hose. Probably 300 feet to service the downhill garden, and 75-100 to take care of any hose needed in the front yard. We have a splitter at the spigot at the house.

Well, we will when hubby disconnects the hose he put there to fill containers to take to the tote up the hill. I tried to take it off, but couldn't budge it.

What I got

I used to buy Jimmy Dean sage then could not find it, then Purnell old folks original and now Bob Evans. It seems the stores cater to the pepper lovers.

I can eat Jimmy Dean's, and Walmart used to carry it. We use it in stuffing/dressing.

The best remedy for poison ivy is antihistamines. It's an allergic reaction, makes sense.

I have to take allergy meds everyday and I still break out. I used to play in it as a kid (not knowing). Something changed in my chemistry

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.

Of course while I was in TS their seeds were on clearance so I might have gotten a whole bunch of all sorts of stuffs.

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?

mine is a bucket with stones and a solar powered pump. They can find their own spot where they can safely stand and drink. Birdbaths are fine too. They sit near the water edge and drink. OC there's nothing wrong with a shallow, old baking dish full of rocks in and out of the water, and just add water to that in the flower bed.

I have bad allergies, too, but I learned a way to minimize my reactions: I avoid foods that seem to make allergies worse. I stopped eating chocolate and peanuts, they made my nose stuffy. And when I removed corn from my diet (it's HARD) I stopped getting sinus headaches, and having sneezing fits so bad my eyes would swell up. I have been able to stop taking antihistamines on a regular basis, which is wonderful as most of them don't do a thing for me anymore. I use then as needed, mainly for poison ivy.

I don't have bees, but I have seen wasps drinking from my shallow birdbath. They will stand on a lily pad and drink from the pond, too.

Just the opposite for me. I used to breakout as a kid then something changed. I can run a weed Wacker through it and not breakout.

I wore out today and took a nap. Then I did some weeding and watering. I ate some mulberries and some sour cherries.
