What did you do in the garden today?

^^Sounds like the difference between CA and OH.

I didn't weed anything yesterday. I'd vowed I'd do some everyday, but yesterday got hijacked by cleaning out the chicken coop.

Today we're starting the bathroom remodel, but I will weed something. And pick the peppers I saw yesterday too.

This one takes the prize on snake shape!
We are in middle of a week of rain. Just check and pick vegetables. The cucumbers and beans I planted are growing.

What seed sites does everyone here recommend? I usually get mine from hardware stores or my local seed library, but I wanted to do scorzonera next year which is a little obscure so I think I’m going to have to order seeds. Most of the sites I’ve looked at are having their seed sales now, but I don’t know how reliable the specific sites are. I know people said they were having issues with Baker Creek this year, are there any others to avoid?

pray they figure it out and can fix quickly

Well I wasted nearly 4 hours at that place. It had to be 50 degrees in there, I shivered & my teeth chattered. They finally got to me (so there were only 3 other people there for help! What the hell!) & were going to do an IV for contrast dye & CT Scan...that jackass, it was the 2nd worst IV attempt I've ever experienced, my arm still hurts now. I got really ticked off & left when I realized what time it was. Nearly 4 hours after I got there!

I'm getting an MRI on Wednesday. This pain is most likely all hip related. It could be a type of hernia that I keep aggravated with all of the heavy work I do. Anyway, this morning the groin lymph nodes are not as swollen, the pain is duller & only my freaking arm is doing poorly due to that idiot stabbing & jabbing & pushing to get the darn thing into the vein. I will Never go back to that place again.

The garden looks fine, we are getting rain later on today & tonight, so that will help, I get a break from watering.

This might help, something was wrong with my right leg. I couldn't sit on my knee. It felt like the pain was coming from my knee or calf, but it turned out to be higher. I fixed it with the chair stretch on this video.

Thank you I will try it!

Well, I'm down for the count.

This may be a TMI moment. So yeah. So... The reason my DH helped me.... I have a brutal hemorrhoid that just decided to say "oh hi, yeah, you have this problem, don't forget about it!".... It was a minor annoyance on Friday. Yesterday it was a little worse. Today, it's crippling me. I took a bath. A BATH. I don't take baths, I'm not royalty! I'm not a floof. I don't waste water on that crap. I could water plants instead! Water here is a precious thing. We don't get much rain; our water table is being collapsed by the insanity that is urbanization.

Anyway.... I'm miserable. I will be taking tomorrow off of work due to this absolute hell that I'm enduring. Tucks, epsom bath, creams... I hate this. It's genetic for me, and having a child made it all the worse. Apparently... I need to take it easy. Pff. I am not amused.

Those can be so excruciating, plus it tends to be embarrassing to speak of. Anything bowel related...ugh, bad place to be hurting, that's for sure. And brutal Constipation is the enemy, like trying to birth a rock, ripping your insides out, aggravating any hemorrhoids. Yup, unfortunately, many of us can relate well. I wish you well, as well as can be.

I watered the newly sown beans & flowers, trimmed squash plants, tied up some stuff & took a couple pics.

The bean trellis is looking good

This squash plant is taller than me & I'm 5'10". Not sure what to do when it runs out of room on the stake. LOL

My bean plant is dismal but my Zucchini surprised me with 3 big ones.
We had water fall yesterday it was dismal, 5 minutes.

I woke up one morning and found an extruding lump where the sun doesn't shine. I thought I had colon cancer, so I began to get my house in order for that dreadful day and I did some research on my copilot A1 search engine, and it recommended this hemorrhoids formula. https://www.amoils.com/products/hemorrhoids?variant=39305614033027

The testimonies cited on this site are true. I have experienced the same thing. I did not have colon cancer; I had an extruded hemorrhoid. The small bottle was enough to get rid of my extruded lump.

I feel like I got a new lease on life.
