I did a bad thing!

Category: Garden Novice | Posted: Thu Jun 05, 2008 4:35 pm

I couldn't stand it yesterday and went out to the garden to see what I could do that wouldn't hurt my back. Well, I started shoving the furniture around the patio, but I used my legs and hips to move them along. However, I was a bit sore afterwards and afraid I had hurt the area of my surgery. But a good night's sleep has me feeling better this morning so I don't think I did any damage. The patio looks so nice in the new arrangement. Now I'm eying the torn umbrella covering and wondering how I can fix that without stressing my back.

I plan to go shopping over the weekend and get a few plants and dirt. I hope to get hubby busy moving around some plants and cutting the grass. That should keep me happy for awhile. I hope.

OK, you are lucky. As hard as it is you must behave. That way you will heal sooner rather than later and will be out and about and gardening soon rather than later. So glad you didn't hurt yourself, but I can totaly understand your frustration. Buy yourself some new plants and have hubby help with them. That will definately make you feel better. Happy healing. :)

Please, please be careful! If you do too much now you'll regret it later. I speak from experience. Not my own, mind. I'm glad your husband is supportive and will help you with your flowers.

Oh Girl,
Please listen to us! Be careful. You will regret it if you hurt yourself more. Let hubby do the "work". You supervise. That's fun anyway!!!!! :-)

Oh Oh I had a feeling you wouldn't be able to resist doing something in the garden. You MUST be content to leave things alone until you're 100% well again. Buy plants by all means but, please, let someone else plant them up for you!!!

You're all right and I do have to behave. But I'm excited to get out over the weekend and pick out some plants. I can sit on the porch and repot a few and hubby can do the muscle work in the yard.

I was just out watering and it's so nice just to get out and think about my future flower gardens and a few vegetables too.
