I hope I don't regret this...

So I got some wooden dowels, some string and screws. I made a trellis for my sugar snap peas. It was cheaper than buying one. But omg....im so incredibly achey now. I should have taken breaks! I hope what I made is going to last long enough I feel like it was worth it.

I know tomorrow I will be feeling the pain even worse. My legs, mostly knee and down are swollen. I'm getting worried how painful its going to be when im even older....I really hope im not going to end up in a nursing home in pain waiting for the day I die.

Im only in my mid 30s and im acting like I remember my grandparents did when getting up and down from sitting and doing things for too long, getting tired. It feels like my muscles are growing. Im curious if its a type of connective tissue condition.

Gardening is really one of a few activities that gives me joy and a sense of accomplishment. Besides being a mom.

Sometimes when its super hot out i will wait until sundown to water them. Heh. I think im going to try an Olla but make one out of terra cotta pots. Apparently its water soluble??!! The soil will leach the water from within the pot if it gets dry enough. Its amazing science really. Maybe I can get a few small ones and try them within my 20 and 30 gallon fabric pots. It would be great if I didnt have to go out into the horrible heat we are having lately.

My watermelons are loving it though. For reals. Moved my peas to a less sunny area. I've read peas like full sun BUT only if its between 60 and 80 degree weather. If its super hot AND sunny the peas will not grow as fast as they are able. Crossing fingers moving them was a good idea. I mived the sun flowers to wear the peas were though. I have mammoth sunflowers growing. Im excited about them and getting sunflower seeds from them. Two of my kids love them.

Gonna try to read and go to bed. Crossing my fingers I get lucky and the pain won't be horrible tomorrow.
