Do I Go Against My Wife

[big rockpile]

I started doing Ruth Stout method in my garden. My wife came out there saying it was too dangerous. Because me being unsteady on my feet and can’t get up by myself if I fall.

I was going to do Raised Beds anyway but I’m looking what I have in the garden and it is looking real good.

Thinking of doing Raised Beds anyway and the garden too but I will have to buy a Broad Fork.

I’m thinking I need the exercise but then again I may never see the best of the garden.

Thinking I could just work in the garden when she is home like I do cutting Firewood.

That’s another thing I told after Sunday I’m going to move all the plants out of the Greenhouse because it is only dropping down into the 50’s. She says great we only need to cut Firewood for Sunday.

No it’s going to be too cold. But it’s not going to be too cold for the plants? They are different and will like it.

Ah I don’t know.

No matter what you do keep moving. Movement is lubricant for the joints. And, women do have more common sense than men.

Man I still like what is going on in the Garden.

Women have more common sense. Yea right!

But milk I told her what we had was close because I ate cereal last night and it was close. She tells me she can’t smell so she would taste it. I smelled it and told her it was sour.

We go to the store and she buys a gallon I said why didn’t you just buy a half gallon? She tells me to hush.

Get to the car and she says half gallon was $3 a gallon is $4.

I always buy a gallon of milk, he drinks it a lot. But I buy one that is from a local dairy, no preservatives, organic etc. can always tell milk ready to turn if it separates in the hot coffee. sometime it really does not smell that strong yet.

We was getting from Amish they got to where they didn’t want to lose the little bit in the Tank so it didn’t get cleaned and would be sour. So we quit getting from them.

We don’t drink Coffee anymore.

One of the Amish markets make cottage cheese, its raw, it is so good, awesome good. have to see if I can go that direction soon now that I am thinking about it. But, been gone so long just don't want to leave the house.

I know bad but come October get Wine from the Germans.

Our Amish is crazy. Their butcher shop got shut down and I was showing them how to butcher.

I must admit we showed each other things.

It sounds like you’ve got a lot going on, but honestly, it’s great you’re thinking of raised beds for safety. Maybe a broad fork will make it easier on you? For the plants, if the temps aren’t too cold for them, they’ll probably be fine!

I have taken to putting good stout stakes in at the corners and along the edges of beds, just something to put my hand on helps my balance no end.

My luck I would put one through my head.

I was just reading up on my New Medication. Could give me Heart trouble or Seizures.

Hope you’re okay! Sounds like your wife may have a point about not working out there alone, especially if you’re unsteady on your feet. Raised beds sound like a good way to keep gardening without putting quite as much strain on yourself. I’ve also been trying to stay more active and have been reading about things like Omega XL lately. Take it easy and keep moving, but definitely don’t push it too far!

As my friend says - I have to take 2 tablets for health reasons and 4 tablets to counteract their side effects. I hope you keep well.

I was taking Lasix for years and it was depleting my system.

I was taking 20 meds a day just because of the Lasix.

I asked my Doctor about just laying off salt and see if I can quit my Lasix and she said give it a try.

It was to keep my leg from swelling. Funny thing is regular Table Salt will make my leg swell but Pink Salt won’t.
