I know of many who garden from wheelchairs with raised beds and pots on low shelves. Those with the least movement seem to get the most joy out of being able to keep gardening, but even those who can still bend and reach find happiness. It may take time, but putting in one raised bed a year will be easier than all at once, and still give lots to look forward too. Prayers for you, Anne in FL zone 9b, sunset 26 To those who do not know mathematics it is difficult to get across a real feeling as to the beauty, the deepest beauty of nature. If you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in. -Richard Feynman (1918-1988)
