While I am sitting here comfortably and working on my computer, my neighbor is mowing the front and back yard lawn.
I would much rather do it myself, but unfortunately it has become too difficult for me now. I totally miss doing it though.
How about you? Are you still able to take care of the gardening at your house?
I hope so, if you enjoy it.

Actually I have a feeling that it's one thing that keeps me strong, I'm so sorry that for some reason you can't do something that you love to do.

@louievill , I loved doing this kind of work before and would love to be able to still do it.
Unfortunately, things have changed.

Our lawn needs to be mowed right now. We are expecting rain for the next few days so I doubt that it will get done until the rain clears up. We avoid mowing wet grass.

I'm sorry you can't do it but glad you have someone that's willing to. We are buying a ride on mower soon so my husband can take care of the lawn. Paying someone to do it is too expensive.

No mowing for me. I live in a community where the lawn is done and I'm happy to watch them ride around and get the grass done,

@Marilynda1225 , I live in a house with 2 lawns and just can't do it anymore. I pay someone to do it, but would much rather do it myself. I so miss it.

@Marilynda1225 , Can't do the mowing and the snow shoveling anymore.
Seriously miss those !
My gardening is getting more and more difficult to do. Very depressing.

@marlina I know how much you love being outside and working in the garden and mowing the grass. Can you still work in the garden?

I've not done my own mowing since my knees began getting worse and possibly since I went full time. But I have employees that like extra cash and they are much less expensive than a lawn service. Maybe one day I can do it between times when it's growing faster.
I've always done my own weeding but had to quit this year. I'll do that again but will get help for putting down the weed barrier and maybe for planting bulbs too.

@MarshaMusselman , I guess it will take a few more days for you to feel more comfortable with your knee.
Wishing you all the best in your recovery.

@marlina having it done was the greatest thing but I am having trouble moving it about since surgery. I think I know why but it may take a few days for me to get back to where I was before or work the other leg.

I enjoy gardening the planting flowers and watching them come each year. The lawn mowing not so much. I try not to do the front and back lawns on the same day. But I must admit, the finished product gives me a feeling of accomplishment

I don't mind working outside, when the weather cooperates. it is usually too hot, too cold, or too wet to do so.

It is sad to learn that you are now unable to do what you used to do yourself ! I have no garden apart from some potted flowers.

Our grandson Brandon has taken on lawn duty, we have a very large lawn and Al does some yard work but doing it all himself is too much.
