Bonnie,

I weed the garden by sitting on a small stool. It is one we bought for the boys when we were toilet training them. I think they have out grown it now

We also have kneelers. It is hard to describe. It is like a small stool but you can turn it upside down and use it as kneeler then you can use the legs to help you up.

I did buy a kneeling pad but it was hopeless. Hard to get down to it and then as you say nothing to hold onto to get up. all good physio tho.

Enjoy the garden.

I am about to pickle some beetroot and make chutney.

Mary

My niece makes wonderful bread and butter pickles. She said she wasn't going to make any this year because she is the only one at her house who eats them and she still has some left from last year. My sister is driving to her house to deliver a chest this weekend - 6 hours. So we have said make the pickles. We are glad to take them off your hands!

Hi Kim, no lemon trees, citrus doesn't grow up here, if it did I know we would have lemon, oranges and grapefruit..my husband lived in AZ many years. we do have a small orchard and adding to it. we have several varieties of apple a pear tree that has 5 varieties of asian pear, a pear tree.

Mary I have tried several differnt kneelers, stools, etc.. I think we will go with the raised beds..husband had knee surgery. we are hoping to get a small green house up soon too.

Bonnie

Bonnie, you are an inspiration. I was brought up a country girl but live north of Sydney in the coastal sprawl now, very suburban and a little up-market. It is my intention this year to "Put up" some fruit as we say here, make some jam (jelly) and do some of that old-timey, country girl stuff. Good for the soul.

Sue.
