who's planting what this w/e?

I had hoped to be doing quite a bit in the garden, but I hurt my back
on Wednesday. I tried doing some (relatively) light weeding on Friday
hoping to loosen up the muscles and keep them moving, but seem to have
made it worse. Sitting down for any length of time makes it worse
too... Grrr!

You have my genuine sympathy. I suffer from lower back and neck problems
and my digging days are certainly behind me. Even standing for a longish
time at a potting bench gives me back ache. Mercifully sitting down for a
bit does help me. And we have a really great chiropractor!
Have you done the lying on the floor with your head on a telephone director
thing (or something the thickness of a telephone directory!) It does seem
to help relax things quite a lot. This time of year seems to result in
'gardener's back' for so many people. ;-(
