Been having intermittent problems with muscle spasms to my arms and legs. Sometimes severe and painful, causing my foot to curl and lock. Not having any other physical problems, so no idea what this may be from. Maybe I need to start taking potassium. Or it may be from sitting too much.
There is the possibility that it could, in the long term, be a positive thing. It could be that I've had neurological damage from autoimmune problems and that damage is healing now that I'm getting those better under control. (Now that I know about both of them.) In the short term, it really sucks trying to go to sleep and having my leg or foot suddenly cramp up to the point that I can't move for a minute or so.
Supposed to be hot today but at least there's a decent cooling breeze right now and a chance of rain this evening. Not sure of doing much outside today but will take swim suits with me and give kiddo the choice of swimming, the zoo or just staying home most of the day and renting movies.
Checked the garden this morning and things I transplanted out are looking pretty good. Plus red grapes are gaining size. I had thought the green grapes were done flowering but it seems not. So not sure what to expect from them. If all the flowers convert to grapes, it will be a great harvest, absolute best so far. I may have applied the phosphorous at exactly the right time for them!
The birds appear to be my allies this year. There are at least two flocks of birds hanging out in the trees and they are helping control the grasshoppers to a degree.
I've looked over pictures from last year and this year is definitely behind from last year. Just because of weather differences. This time last year, tomatoes were knee high and full. Right now they're only a few inches tall. Biggest sunflowers were taller than my head while right now they're just reaching chest high. If I had to make a guess, I'd say this year is 3-4 weeks behind last year in growth.
Cucumber vines are starting to flower and should be able to climb soon. They remain in containers and I will just keep them next to the trellis this year.
