If you have to do your own weeding, make your life easier with great tools and have a plan to keep your body healthy.
Gardening can be hard on you, staying flexed through the spine can be torture on your back. Take it easy, and weed one small section at a time.
Take breaks every 10 minutes or so, stand up, and put your spine in extension. Take your hands behind you, look up, and lift your chest. Then slowly rotating side to side through your torso.
You can also change things up by doing another chore that involves standing for a period of time.
Always wear a longer shirt or tank to cover any low-rise jean mishaps!

Thanks so much for the kind words!
Gorgeous flowers! Thanks for the reminder about changing positions and stretching when you are gardening. As someone who has had a year of rehab because of a pinched nerver and frozen shoulder, I can concur that it is so important!
So important – I hope u are getting better!
Great advice and awesome pictures!
Thank u, Thank u! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
Your garden is gorgeous! I am afraid to show mine after a month of no rain… I water occasionally, but don’t dare too often! Good reminder to stand every so often, yes!
