Hello All,

I hope you are all well and enjoying the slightly warmer weather?

It's been a while since I last posted, in the main due to ill health, apart from heart problems, I have also been dealing with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and rheumatoid arthritis in my hands. Not wanting to tempt fate but I am starting to get things under control and begin gardening again, all though at a slower pace. Under strict instructions from she who must get obeyed, I have cut back on the plots and just have two now as my visits are limited to once a week.

I have taken the decision to limit my growing ambitions this year and focus on getting things tidy again as I want to enjoy gardening again. I have never had so many weeds!

   
   

At least I can plod on slowly for the time being.

Nice to be back Smile

Lovely to have you back here - don't go AWOL again or I'll have to send SC to find you. Big Grin
Take it easy - remember it doesn't need to be perfect, just a bit better, each time you visit your plot.

Welcome back  Cool . We’ve missed you. Very pleased you’re starting to enjoy your garden again. You’ll soon have your plots whipped into shape. Without over doing it. That’s an order    Big Grin .

Glad you are back on track as I had wondered how you were? Hopefully you are on the mend now, so don't overdo it! Good to have you back and don't be a stranger in future!

Thanks all

It will be a gradual process, I don't intend to rush!

It is amazing how quick nature reclaims the land, I have had offers of help from other plot holders, which although nice, I need to do this for me. Although the CKD is irrireversable it can me managed but part of that management is rest. At the moment I am limited to 6 hours a week, which although hard to take.....its better than the other option!

"I have never had so many weeds!" I wish my weeds were as few as yours are - and looking, you have plenty of time before any of them flower never mind set seeds.

Good to see you Boss Smile

You've cut down on plots but what about your wheel barrow collection have you downgraded that.

Really good to see you back. You must have had a very worrying time. Admire the positive attitude, we all know gardening is therapeutic so you'll be back in the saddle in no time. Take it slowly and be sensible.
