Weird - I was laid out with mystery DVT and severe iron deficiency recently. I was told I should have transfusions or at the least IV iron 3X weekly. I am sticking to special easy on the stomach tabs though. Have to take a bunch a day, along with other meds.

When I was able to walk again, I was SOOOOOOOOOOO glad that this year I had decided to try that weed block paper. It saved my little garden and has worked better than I hoped. First year I have even considered using such stuff.

Well, fancy that. Go figure. If I had a garden like hubby, I would use that weed fabric too, but my little gardens have stuff so close together I get almost no weeds, and the texture is such that you can just pull them out by the roots easy peasey.

You need to start getting better, hon.

I may have to try weed blocker fabric because I simply can’t keep up with the weeds. I tried it years ago and didn’t particulary like it. I could never get enough rocks on it to keep it from blowing. I need so much of it and it’s really not in the budget.

Tip when weeding - put some duct tape around your first finger (or whichever finger you dig down to get the roots) to keep from ripping hang nails. Mine hurt all the time and don’t know why I didn’t think of it before, duh.
