To be a bit more thorough on my response to the dehydration, if you go outside and sweat you need to replace not just your water however it's also important to replace your salt. My stomach was cramping like way out of the normal. At the time I was going through menopause so it wasn't that. I...
Happy to hear. The salt is what makes the chips work. Dehydration is something that I always end up with during the summer so I have to have chips on hand. I drank 113.8 oz of water yesterday and still had to get a bag of chips.
@Liz Birdlover , I don't know that it will help you however when I start feeling the way you describe I get a bag of Lays Classic potato chips and drink about 20 oz of water. It's the best thing for me when it's too hot. The hives can be remedied with Benadryl unless you don't take pills. This...
I have planted corn, cucumber, tomatoes, green beans, Lima beans, okra, beets, endive, potatoes, strawberry, cilantro, ground cherry, purple and green cabbage, spinach, Swiss Chard, onion, pumpkin, peppers, watermelon, cantaloupe, zucchini, yellow and crook neck squash, and sweet potatoes
Have gotten most of my seeds planted but it's hot and our water is being an aggravating pain in the back side. I now have 2 blueberry bushes. When I bought the 2nd one I also bought 3 bags of potting soil and the lady at the nursery gave me some free tomato and watermelon plants. I got 3 of 4...
I have a bunch of little bugs that kinda resemble a baby grasshopper but without the legs,(little jerks bite), and also there's some white butterflies I think are eating mine too.
In CA I don't think a flame thrower would be a good idea due to the drought but I am still trying to figure out how to get rid of the weeds without chemicals. I haven't tried to save zinnia seeds but I don't have a problem growing them, of course that could be the zone I am in.
My husband asked me to buy some Roundup for weeds. I will find a better way to get rid of them than using a chemical that causes some severe illness. I'm thinking that maybe if I can get some really strong vinegar and drown them in it, win win for me.
Took the cover off the green house. I have 2 gates that are useless so they will be repurposed for a trellis for my beans and cucumbers. They should do good. I'm still trying to get my tomatoes and peppers planted. I usually have it done by now but I have been busy with too much other stuff.
Went out to clear an area I want to make a edible plus flower bed. I started the tractor and after 2 pushes of weeds out I decided the girls needed to be free to range a little. I have done this for 3 days now and it is still causing me to feel like oh no wait what are you doing where are you...
