Yes - agreed. I saw the large doses, and selected one close to the amount in the named formula, more than enough. Overdoing it is also a problem with iron. There is very little actually needed as a supplement, and those high doses just cause constipation. Your note is a good reminder that while the dermatologist suggested this, my GP needs to know all of my supplements.

Two more pints of tomatoes processing this evening, and the marinara is in the freezer, the lids tightened now that they're frozen. A jar of pickles and a baggie of okra delivered next door. The insanity of gardening—I could go to the grocery and buy cases of tomatoes and eggplant and cucumbers for probably less than I'll spend on the additional water that goes in the garden this summer, and without all of the work, but the satisfaction of picking and sharing and how much better it tastes (tomatoes in particular) is the motivation. I suppose it's like music or other hobbies - I can do it myself or buy it (kind of riffing on Sandra's remark about singing along and Charmion's response.)

When I went out in the back after dark to reset the sprinkler I stepped near the far end of the patio to see if that spider had her web up yet, and almost walked into the darned thing. It's huge! Clearly she has figured out the paths the dogs follow to avoid their hitting it. Earlier today the front porch spider had what looked like a small wasp. I'll have to take several looks out back to see what that one is aiming for.
