While I am mylotting here, someone is mowing my lawn. I am glad that it is not me right now as I am still too weak for this. I would love to be able to mow the lawn as I used to do. I really enjoyed doing this kind of work but I do it less and less now. Blame it on some health problems. No fun! Are you still able to take care of the gardening yourself? I hope so!

I am still able to take care of our garden, but last Friday I hired a guy to mow the lawn, prune the bushes and clean the pathway from all unwanted weeds. I was tired and it was a lot of work, I am have been more than happy to pay him.

@LadyDuck , I was happy to pay him too this morning. But now I have to find another guy to dig and get rid of some beds that I do not want anymore.

@marlina The one who came told me that he can do this. I will call him the next week. I am too tired this year to take care of everything.

@LadyDuck Same here, those perennials are "multiplying" too fast for me.

I think that its fine that you have someone in to do your lawn, and big spring cleaning for that matter also. A lot of people take that route. Happy myLotting!!!

@marlina Do you do any indoor gardening? I love that just as much as outdoor gardening because I have a potting table which I don't have to worry about spilling dirt or water on and I don't have to worry about the weather or the bugs and I can stand or sit if I want. You should give it a try.

@Juliaacv , Mylotting is certainly easier than gardening! But I love gardening more than anything else. So, it is not easy.

@Juliaacv I only have 1 plant right now indoor. A potting table? Is it made especially for the indoors?

Yes, I mow the grass with a rider and a push mower. I know some day I will have to pay someone to do it for me too, maybe by then I will just move to am apartment that has someone to do it.

I do some bit of it myself but the major chunk is done by my Gardener and he is really good. I just have a terrace garden and that is easier to maintain.

@marlina But I like big garden like I had in my childhood days. Now we have space constraint in our country and big houses with big garden come as a luxury. I can not grow fruits like mango, guava etc in my terrace garden

I hope you can recover soon and do things like you used to. Having health problems can be frustrating physically.

I let the hubby handle the grass mowing along with my 8-year-old Keith. They do a smashing job of it.

We live in the city; cement backyard, so mowing the lawn isn't an option for us lol. We do have a space of marble and dirt for gardening, which my brother-in-law enjoys caring for. I'm sorry you're not able to do the work like you're used to, but I'm glad you have someone to help you with it.
