Gardening anyone?

Re: Gardening anyone?

Hey there @Shaz51 🙂🌺

Glad to hear the rain is lessening 🙂

I hope the visit with your mum goes well 🥰

Nice pics! They’re beautiful variegated leaves… one of my fav plants is zebrina Alocasia with the stripy leaf stems - I don’t have pics as the ones I have are still tiny and it’s hard to see their stripes 🙂 if I can, I’ll take some pics and post here. 
Otherwise, as slow start here, having some health problems today (feel a bit sick after drenching night sweats from my bone marrow problem). 
it’ll be ok - I’ll have a bit more sleep now and see if it improves 🙌🏻🙂

 

I hope you have a smooth day today, and all goes well 🤗🌺

Re: Gardening anyone?

Sorry you guys are not feeling so well @Former-Member @Shaz51 

I hope you both start to feel better soon.

 

I will be planting pea seeds today 

Re: Gardening anyone?

Beautiful ! Does it have a perfume ? Roses don’t do well around my place - I’m in the Top End - too hot and humid

Re: Gardening anyone?

Hello @Hannelore 🙂

Yes too hot here for roses too , I am in far north Queensland 

 

Good question,  @Adge do the roses have a smell 🤔 

@Hannelore , a little tip put a @ in front of a name so they will receive your message

Re: Gardening anyone?

Thanks for the tip ! Still finding my way around ☺️ I’m a bit ‘online challenged’

Re: Gardening anyone?

No worries @Hannelore 

Did you get much rain from the cyclone xx 

Re: Gardening anyone?

No it kinda went underneath us, but had a pretty good wet all up, @Shaz51

Re: Gardening anyone?

Yes @Hannelore we got lots of rain from it here , still raining 🌧 here

Re: Gardening anyone?

Thanks heaps @Shaz51 🙂💜

sorry to hear you feel sick during the night and up often to go bathroom 😔

I’ve been avoiding food some hours before bed to stop that sick/nausea feeling when laying down - it helps a bit, but not significantly. Do you have any tips you feel comfortable to share? 🙂

Frequent trips to toilet .. even with restricting fluids I am up usually 3x nightly now it’s turned into 3B CKD, however if I try to limit fluids, I feel much worse the next day. 
not much luck here, I wish I had more helpful stuff to offer 🌺🤗

Although I have found that wearing TED stockings overnight has helped the cramping and slightly improves the pain aspect of neuropathy (as well as supplementing high doses of magnesium and potassium due to loss from kidney failure). 

hopefully Mr Shaz made you a coffee too? ☺️

 

thanks for sharing that Alocasia - it’s lovely ☺️ 💜
