I dug holes all day. I've been digging holes the last few days. When the weather is cool, I try to dig as much as I can in anticipation of fall bareroot plant orders coming in. Just makes sense to take advantage of a day when the temps are only in the upper 70's to dig 5 gallon holes for woodies as opposed to having to dig holes in the eleventh hour after the plants come in when the air temps could be back up in the 80's or 90's.
I dug so many holes today that the heels of my feet cracked and were bleeding. First time that's ever happened. I dropped and fell asleep at around 8pm only to wake up in the middle of the night. I've been soaking my feet while I've been online. They do feel better in the warm water.
This is the first year I've pretty much been wearing flip flops to do everything. They are so easy to hose off while you are working. I guess from what I've just now read online, flip flops weren't such a good idea. I'll start wearing the gym shoes I was wearing to work outside in subsequent years but this still leaves me with horrible callouses on my heels that are cracked and I need to dig about 30 more holes plus the big hole for that 30 gallon preform deal that I plan to plant my acaule in. I'm sort of in pain here. Has anyone had to deal with cracked feet and if so is there a home fix or over the counter product I could pick up that somebody here who gardens has used that really works or should I just schedule an appointment with a podiatrist? Forgot to mention I'm not a diabetic or overweight.
