Encouragement to get back in touch with life is essential to well being, recovery and becoming alive.
Anything that promotes this gets my vote.
Don’t be shy.
I’m sure posts with simple instructions at a very basic level up to more advanced advice and discussion would be very useful.
It’s the right time to start putting a few seeds into yogurt pots to be replanted later into something bigger. Ingredients for the kitchen or a pot plant to brighten up the home and window sills.
So what seeds, keep it simple.
Onions, beans, herbs, potato, what do you suggest?
Give me full instructions, educate me.
We tend to grow a lot of veggies. Hubby currently planting seed potatoes which he has had chitting in the potting shed for weeks. He digs a trench, puts them in a distance apart then ridges the soil up. Every day he waters them - they like water & we have numerous water butts. Then we sit back, watch them grow & enjoy them with lots of different meals at appropriate time. We are fortunate to have a decent sized garden so plant earlies, 2nd earlies & main crop. Yum.
Hello all, just wanted to share how our garden has become a godsend for me and Gary, my husband who had a severe stroke 18 months ago.
Friends helped me dig a beautiful pond while he was in hospital and are in the process of making raised beds (Gary’s Groundforce). We also now have a wheelchair accessible greenhouse.
The growing began in earnest this spring and it’s been such a pleasure for us both. Inevitably there has been frustration for Gary trying to do everything one-handed but we’re trying to be patient.
It’s looking great & a good way to get Gary involved. I am sure there have been many frustrations but we all get those. Getting out in nature is always a lovely thing to do. The pond looks great & as the year progresses it’ll be lovely too see the benefits of the work you have been doing.
