    I have gardeners who visit twice monthly for the front yard and they’ve been instructional and helpful with the garden. They weed it and tell me how much to water it and other care needs.

    They cut my frustration and work by 75%. Highly recommend hiring gardeners.

      Tempting BUT… I got clean off hard drugs a bit over a year ago so it’s kinda MY project and therapy yknow. I wanna figure it out. Still in the frustrating start up and learning phase, but even now it’s pretty fulfilling. Maybe in 15 years when my back is broken I may do that 😄

        Hey, good on ya for staying the course! I completely agree that gardening is an incredibly satisfying therapy, a meditation even. Back in the day, I got into cannabis cultivation and ended up more fulfilled by the growing part and less about the end product — though my friends never seemed to mind the free gifts every few weeks, heh. My mom was the same way with her vegetable garden when I was little, now that I think of it: all the neighbors looked forward to her tomatoes, long beans, snap peas, and strawberries. 🥰

        Are there any local groups or societies that you could join? Some sort of buddying up programme where you help each other out, or something.
