Garden Helpers

Today I was able to get outside around 11:00.  I wasn’t feeling great but I wanted to continue with my beer bottle border.  It gets held up because I have to wait for clear bottles.  I have plenty of brown and green.  Anyway, I wasn’t able to get as far as I wanted because it got too warm and I wasn’t feeling strong.  Again, I got frustrated and mad at myself and this stupid MS, for stopping me from doing what I want!

I have 13 flower beds throughout the yard.  It takes a lot of upkeep.  I do all the planting and weeding.  My husband takes care of mulching.  Around the house I use a walker.  When I go anywhere I use my wheelchair.  The reason I can get around the yard is because my husband bought me an old Harley Davidson golf cart. All my gardening equipment is in there along with my kneeler.  Without these two things I wouldn’t be able to do what I do.  I pull up to whatever bed I’m gonna work on and take out the kneeler, my tools and weed bucket.  I have horticultural oil for the roses and bee balm, and rubbing alcohol for my clippers.
