Ah now, that really is the tricky bit. Since developing arthritis

discovered that if I kneel down, I can't get up unless there's

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!

So do I, which explains the various colours of paint splatters on mine!


.... and on mine
