I don't trim anything, it just grows back, also my right arm can't handle using a trimmer. I mow as close as possible then done.

Your skills are wonderful Sissy

I mow as close as I can but not easy around the fence .I don't want tall edges around there because of the chihuahuas .My fingers get numb and have to stop and shake my hand because it feels like it fell asleep ..Thank you I just sometimes like to see people smile when I make them something .It is worth all the hard work .Wanted to work down there today but to much rain .

aww same problem I have, called a trapped nerve, somewhere in your shoulder area. I lose all control of my hand, sometimes can not even eat. Keeps me awake at night if I over do it, which I do all the time. I am trying that tumeric stuff, it does seem to be helping, less night pain, been taking it for a few weeks now.

never heard of that treatment tumeric ,like the spice

[sissy]

new for my pond and a new hibiscus .

 

[addy1]

Nice hibiscus, mine are just now coming up, around 8 inches tall now

Nice new plants sissy. Sadly my Hibiscus never made it to one bloom here and are all gone. No more for me

3/4 inch pipe a T fitting and 2 T fittings with a screw in end on the top and you have spitters for your pond to help aerate your water .I have not been on much since I have been busy with helping a couple build a pond and hubbies doctor appointments and everything here to do .6 tractors built 10 baskets built and my hands hurt bad from all the work .My pond got a little neglected .

 

[j.w]

Gosh you have been busy and what cool tractors. Glad to see you back. Hope your hubby is doing better now.

 

[sissy]

.I made the last couple with a broken right hand .lucky i also am left handed .

 

[j.w]

You broke your hand? Darn that's not good. You broke it working on all the wood working you did?

 

[sissy]

no one of the boys accidentally pushed one of the landscape timbers into the side of my hand against the chop saw .Tried something different for pond spitters .I am now going to use an open T with a closed end and just slip it over the 3/4 pipe and this way I can make the size hole i want with my drill .I will take the ball valve off and set this up .This way i get more top water movement .Don't mind the test pipe having holes in it in pic as it was just a piece of pipe I took to lowes to make sure I had the right size .I think I am going to do it on the hose on top of my filter but in a bigger size pipe .I did this in the pond I helped people build 4 weeks ago and it works great in there waterfall and pond .They have 6 of them going across there pond but used a 2 inch pipe since there pond is bigger and they have to laguna 4800 gph pumps .I think they were amazed that it turned out the way it did .Peggy said my ideas sounded crazy but it sure looks pretty and works great at helping aerate the pond water .I gave them some plants to help get them started .

 

[j.w]

Well bummer anyway it happened. You are always looking for new ways to do something and you are good at it. Glad it is working good for you.
