Motivation for getting in the garden, spent the last two weekends in my mothers garden and so need to do mine, aching all over from this mornings effort, would love a magic wand to rid the weeds and trim some trees. love my garden but. think I might get someone to start me off, a good tidy up. Need to make it easier for me.

There are plenty of people you could employ to give you a hand & a 'kick start' . then it's only a matter of keeping it tidy. Personally, I feel very satisfied (even if I'm aching) after a day accomplishing heaps in the garden. There are 'true' gardeners & then there are garden tidiers . have to work out which category you are in & go from there?

A good soak in a bath with Epsom salts helps!

Yes I could have a bath at mums with Epsom Salts. I have quite a big garden and it has got the better of me. A few injuries unfortunately more than just aches and pains. I have employed gardeners occasionally however the last time, he just turned the garden, never weeded, it cost quite a bit as well. I guess I shall make a start and see how I go, I need a kick in the backside. It is satisfying seeing it all done. Have about an hour to do at mum's tomorrow and that will be it for a month or so. Lawns at mine tomorrow, that always makes it look better. Longer evenings help, maybe an hour after work every couple of days. talking myself into it.

I love my garden also but would not call myself a "true" gardener but on the other hand I am not just a garden tidier. I have a gardener an elderly very wise man who helped me out with a good tidy up and very good advice, and I call him when I need a hand, in between I try and keep up with weeding and planting myself
