Ah now, that really is the tricky bit. Since developing arthritis I've
discovered that if I kneel down, I can't get up unless there's something
to clamber up. One day I could, next day (it seemed) I couldn't. Makes
me furious!


I use one of those garden kneelers - flipped over, it's a seat. I do as
much as I can from a seated position, then turn it over to do the rest.
The upside-down seat legs let me raise and lower myself easily, even when
my knee is acting up.


Yes, I'm thinking of getting one of those. At present, the beds are so
full and lushly covered (thanks to the rain) that not much ground weeding
has to be done!


I use mine a lot, inside the house too!
