Tales from the DARK side of gardening......or 'poison ivy is not a good ground cover!"
Above: self-portrait for today.....hair bound back in a black scarf and no makeup. Lots of rash due to encounter with poison ivy (below)!
This is not growing in my garden, but just 3 feet away, it is flourishing! Apparently I am pretty sensitive! I had sort of thought it was wild strawberry (below)....but just didn't pay much attention to it! I don't remember touching it either.
Now, I am afraid to spend much time out there. So my plans for gardening are on hold until we get rid of the creeping evil ivy!!!! I'll just stay in here where it is cool, read, knit and rest.
Hope I get better soon and can go to work tomorrow. I have been to the walk-in clinic this morning (Sunday) for a cortisone laden injection.....so much for any money-saving with gardening, LOL! [It is still a lot of fun though!]
