I thought gardening was supposed to be relaxing???? Don't think I have ever felt so shattered after digging out the flower beds today! And I'm still not finished. I think someone must have had a stone covered bed there in the past because that is all I am finding stone after stone after stone!!! Anyway time for a tea break!!!!!
Nothing like a nice cuppa. Take it steady. What you don't finish today will patiently wait for you til tomorrow,
I'd agree with that. Little and often, "Rome wasn't built in a day" & all that. As for digging up stones. I know exactly what that's like!
You do have my sympathy, Stacym, but if you remember we did say in your other thread, dig a stretch at a time
You can only truly relax when the mind and the body are equally tired. Everyday life taxes the mind, gardening gives the mind a break while the body catches up Then, after all that fresh air and a nice brew, then you relax. Not for too long though. The work is never done.
That was a stretch lol I'm not used to manual labour thats what the OH is for lol but I am determined I shall do it myself haha
Once you get past that bit its a lot more fun. I've got heavy clay so digging is kind of a nightmare here too.
I sypathise completely. One of the benefits of having a small garden (like me) is I didn`t have to go through what you do. I only have something like 50 square feet of border and the tubs look after themselves basically. You`ll get the benefit when you`re done though and when your garden is looking good, you`ll stand back and say it was all worth it. Guaranteed.
