Sciatica is way better - just some residual discomfort, but low back is in more pain that I’ve had for many years. Still it’s so much better, and I only need my cane to handle the stairs.
Even managed to dig the taters - just did a little each day.
I always load up the garlic bed before planting with lots of compost, and rarely add anything else till I pull them up. I need to go put some straw on the beds, to get them ready for winter. Haven’t seen any sprouts yet.
Are you still doing the low carbish diet?
Sounds like you’re getting there if you can dig taters and climb stairs. :)
I only planted about 100 red onions. I got the bulbs from Lowes and they must be really good because I think they all came up! Color me shocked!
I couldn’t bring myself to buy garlic starts though. I kept trying to find elephant garlic at the grocery store and couldn’t so settled for a head with pretty good sized cloves.
The store was asking $4 for two heads of regular garlic and same price for only two CLOVES of elephant garlic. No thanks!
Anyway, all I did was add some manure and topsoil after digging weeds and cat leavings out of the bed. Maybe when the weather dries up I’ll get some straw down to kerp the weeds out. I did add a bunch of plastic forks to keep out the kittehs. :) I think it’s working so far.
