Yesterday, we got out early and worked in the garden. I have a love/hate relationship with gardening. I love it to look nice, but don’t care for the actual work that is involved. It doesn’t help that I’m terribly allergic and by yesterday evening on the Benadryl. I woke up today still covered in hives. Hopefully they will abate soon.












Bless your heart, you sound like me. I do the same thing when I work in the garden. I have to wear long sleeves and pants, otherwise I end up breaking out like crazy. I’ve heard that if you take 1 tbs (or tsp…not sure which) of local honey per day, your outdoor allergies will get better. I figure it’s an easy enough thing to try, so I’m going to try and track some down.
Hives are no fun. Maybe allergy testing would help so you’d know exactly what to avoid? It could be something simple like the mulch or a particular plant.
