Greeneyes,

I have spondyloarthropathy which is simply spinal arthritis. But it manages to spin off into tennis elbow, coccydynia, and plantar fasciitis. The doctor says I have psoriatic arthritis, so I take a pricey bi-weekly injection of Humira.

I’m sore all over today from working the garden this weekend. Here in the Raleigh area it’s time to put in the cold weather early spring veggies. Got the garden tilled, and put out the sets I had in my little greenhouse—cabbage, brocolli, lettuce, and onions. I sowed spinach and 5 rows of garden peas. Don’t know what I’m going to do with 60+ heads of brocolli.

The garlic cloves I set out last November look pretty good. First time for me to grow garlic.

Found something on the internet about growing celery. You know the center of a celery bunch has that green leafy stalk growing out of it? Well, you can just leave the bottom 2 inches or so in a bowl of water, and that center will start to grow. Then stick it in a pot of soil nearly covering it up. There’s have 3 in the greenhouse now. Hadn’t ever done celery before, either.

I have to sleep in my LazyBoy recliner because the bed hurts my back too much. Everything should be much better tomorrow.

I am just thankful for rice socks. They help a lot after being heated in the microwave.
