Pix 4 Posted May 18, 2008 Well ok, doesn't hurt that bad but it does tingle a bit. Was working in my flower beds yesterday and got a touch red on my arms, shoulders, and back. The up side I got one flower bed weeded, trimmed back (had one flower that propagated like crazy so had to pull over half of them or I would have had a white flower bed) some of the over zealous flowers, reseeded (yeah late in season but the weather wasn't cooperating until recently). Now to finish my other flower bed today, and then trim back my rose bush's and prune some of the new growth. I also was able to get some beauty bark around my tree's. I was thinking about planting some pansies (I mean dropping packets of seeds wily nilly so its nothing but pansies around the tree) but the hubby said no, cause they tend to spread out into the yard and get mowed down. He is right so beauty bark it was. And no, I didn't lift the bags of bark, a friend came over and laid them out by the tree and all I did was spread them around. But oooooof my cat just jumped on my shoulder, guess I am a bit more burnt then I thought. *goes off to look for lotion and aloe* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*susan* 1,709 Posted May 18, 2008 Better put on lots of sunscreen and cover up before you head back out today. You sure don't need to burn more! Hope you get better quick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laurinda 1 Posted May 20, 2008 Try vinegar on the burn <you can even warm it in the microwave a wee> apply it with a soft wash cloth. You'll smell but feel OH SO MUCH BETTER! When your burn is over I'll give you my address and welcome you to repeat what your doing at your house :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pix 4 Posted May 20, 2008 Laurinda HAHAH nahh not gonna do the vinegar *shudders* but it was really mild, its nice and tan now. Except you can clearly see my chicken pox scars now. LOL reason #7843749782 why I try to stay out of the sun for to long. As for workin on your flower beds, well, how much ya gonna pay me and do you mind someone doing it with an acid thumb? LOL I just toss seeds in the flower beds cover them with a small layer of dirt and call it a day. Cept for my roses. For some reason those are the ones things that I can get to grow, and grow nice and pretty. Oh, and Jades, I haven't killed mine yet.... Or the Aloe ...
