I had no mail when I was out a few minutes ago. Don’t know if the mail has ran or not. We have two different drivers, one runs a scheduled time, the other tries to come every day!
Yellow pollen was all over the landscape fabric of the ground floor garden (GFG) It looks like 2 of my home-started mater plants did not make it, but, good news, the 2 in the raised container garden (RCG) are doing great. They are small, but looking good, a Boxcar Willie, and a Legend. They were very small when I put them out. I broke my seed starting routine this year and had poor results because of it.
I have a mater baby That is still not in the ground yet. I could not tell if it was a mater or a pepper. The name tag said Prudence Purple. I searched and found Pruden Purple, a potato leafed mater. Okay, now I know it’s a mater. It’s very happy, I may put it in the GFG in place of a dead one. It is supposed to be a good tasting, disease resistant, prolific mater, so I am looking forward to seeing what happens. I don’t know why I just started the one seed. I don’t know why I do a lot of things the way I do. LOL
The “by the Moon” Garden Calendar says today and tomorrow are good for underground crops, and April 1st, and 2nd are good for above ground crops.
I can’t keep my days straight already without complicating them like that. :)
A wedge is what I use now. I haven’t been able to breathe well on my back for a long time. So I usually just sleep on one side or the other.
That became a problem, because my hips starting hurting too much and kept me from going to sleep, as well as some problems with stairs.
So now I sleep on the wedge, which helps with breathing when I am on my back. I can also roll onto my sides without putting am much pressure on the hips. So the wedge has helped me a lot.
“A wedge is what I use now.”
I was having a bit of acid reflux which I have never had before, so got a wedge so wouldn’t be flat in bed, upper body would be a bit elevated, and that wedge just feels really good, supports my neck. I do use a soft pillow on it, too, but it’s not a big thick pillow so it’s soft and the wedge just gives the upper body more support. Not having that acid problem but using the wedge because it suits my body. When I got it at Walmart, I wasn’t expecting much, but it’s a good thing.
I used to have some acid issues too sometimes. The wedge has been really helpful to me. My lower back doesn’t hurt as much when I get up in the A.M. either. Hips are better, and I breathe better. It’s all good.
