Default Going it alone

"Kathy" wrote

My lottie partner has finally decided today that she is giving up. This
follows a year of her thinking about it, in which she did hardly anything
on the plot. I'm now going to give it a go at doing it alone. At least
there will be no more arguments about weeds [dig in or dig out] or beds
[raised or flat]. Thankfully, we're still good friends.


We have a number of ladies that have plots and garden on thier own including
one in her late 60s who is still also at work full time and another in her
80s that only has help from her son to do the heavy digging. She is also
always the first person on the site to get things planted and her plot is
always in good condition and weed free. She recently asked her Doctor if she
should give up and he said certainly not.
So are you a modern raised bed, lots of space wasting paths sort of gardener
or an old fashioned flat plot all cultivated in straight rows to make life
easier type?
