Corn takes up a lot of space, and we figure we get more bang for our buck, so to speak, by planting a protein rich food.<br /><br /> You probably do more in a day than I do in a week, girl. lol I've started drinking tonic water too for the leg cramps, and that helps.<br /> Akanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00513632434353119491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448246538491495908.post-63145348062222400312013-05-22T12:30:04.072-07:002013-05-22T12:30:04.072-07:00Louisey...I know that bananas are full of potassiu...Louisey...I know that bananas are full of potassium which eases cramping. Magnesium too? Awesome.<br /><br /> I was out there this morning, and the monsoon type weather we are having (massive rains combined with 85 degrees) have already had my lettuces, radises and kale sprouting.

I think it's kind of a 50-50 thing...a doc told me once that when you drink tons of water, it alos dilutes and removes certain water soluble vitamins and minerals from your system. You can't win. lol I've been getting them randomly about the last 10 years. Not life and death stuff...just "stop waking me up when I finally get to sleep !!!" stuff. lolAkanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00513632434353119491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448246538491495908.post-22382223098330671052013-05-20T12:44:42.359-07:002013-05-20T12:44:42.359-07:00Beth--that would be wonderful.

The temps down here have been in the high 80's and low 90's already for a week or so. The top of the dirt is [pretty dry, but once you stick your fingers down in it, it's good and moist.<br /> I hope your week is stupendous.

We're in the midst of a very rainy spell (got 2" overnight) and it will take the gardens a bit of time to dry enough for planting now. But the rain is welcomed because we've had high forest fire danger. Not any more, thankfully. Have a great week.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.com
