Annoying weeds

[10pinbowling]

Hi. I have a large garden where the weeds grow while I'm watching . I use a chair to weed and dig which takes a bit of pressure off but like you I do it for too long and then suffer but I'm learning to take regular breaks. Good luck. Sylve. X

Apply for PIP and use it to pay a gardener to help 🤣 or win the lottery? Mwah x

Hard though isnt it, do a little at a time xx great idea on the chair

Hi. Love a gardener and a lottery win. Were lucky enough just to win a fiver so I'll just carry on with my chair. Lol. Xxx

Yes I have a stool to sit on with arms so that I can get up. Awkward sometimes to reach all weeds but do as much as I can. It's good for me, I am sure. 😀

Much sympathy. Luckily we have some raised borders which make them accessible but the others are very difficult. I may have to find a gardener as it's getting away from us

I have a gardener who comes to do the harder stuff twice a year. My OH and I mange the rest. Worth it to get someone to do the hard to do things and he takes the cuttings away too. xx

My neighbour said on Sunday "Do you ever stop weeding?" and I replied "Only when they don't grow." I quite enjoy sitting on my gardening stool for short periods pulling up annual weeds. It gets me out and it is gentle exercise. I have tools which are suitable for my poorly hands too.

BUT I do need to be careful of how long I do it for. It is so tempting when there are lots of weeds to 'just do a bit more'. And that leads to disaster as I then can't do anything for days.

I have a rescue giant rabbit who sees to all the gardening. No weeds! Have to box off any flowers from him but he’s great at keeping the lawn short as well 😂 He’s 12 now. Wasn’t impressed with the snow but still trimmed the bamboo for me!

Oooohhh idea for us will see if hubby likes the idea of a rabbit for garden as a new type of trimmer.
