Sorry for your seasonal suffering!! I get allergies, too--have any of you tried "Zatador" for your stinging eyes? It's an OTC antihistamine eye-drop that really helps me.
Our Spring on the Cape is rather slow in coming, so I've still got another week or two before I wake up with my eyes almost fused shut!!
The problem is that with a slow Spring, I can't really plant out yet, and it's frustrating to have to wait!
