Our daughter decided when we moved to bring her grandmothers flowers she planted I think 50 years ago with us. Her dad liked that idea so we did. My husband he likes to do that type of weeding Earl. It has kept his moms memory alive. She lived to be 88 not in the best of health and totally crippled.
I agree though flower beds as well as gardens are work but the labor brings beauty as well as bountiful harvest.
My grandma was always weeding in her flower beds & would come help weed in my familyās garden. She lived to be an active 92 year old using a cane her last year for balance.
Thatās why I have a garden - to keep active & have something to do that gets me off the couch (just in case I live so long āŗ)!
Iām glad (or sorry, as the case may be) to say that my feelings ābout digging, planting, weeding or maintaining any type of garden can be summarized in one statement:
**You can lead a horticulture,
but you cannot make her think.**

Thatās a good idea Joe-Allen! Thanks for sharing that gardening tip.
Earl - Just mistake a plant she wants for a weed, and you might get out of weeding. I didnāt do it on purpose, but my parents quickly learned that it wasnāt wise to have me do the weeding. (I still had to plant & harvest.)

I donāt have a garden either. Or a wife to make me put in a garden.
Oh, and I agree with Earl on this one, if you havenāt guessed that already.

Opal should be helping him! Gardens are a lot of work, but the reward is well worth it~~
