So much to do!

[mazmezroz]

Am v. frustrated. Firstly weather was, um, shall we say, inclement. Then I injured my neck - sticking it on some block somewhere no doubt - so was disabled for the whole of last week. Now it's recovering but I can't do anything this week, even if it is raining!

I have beans burgeoning from my plastic greenhouse, tomatoes looking as though they'll be breathing their last in the v. near future and courgettes like triffids.

And weeds have taken over me plot!

Will I ever manage to tame everything and catch up????

Oh dear, I do sympathise - life keeps getting in the way doesn't it?
I know that what with working full time,trying to study & doing the usual houseworky things I don't get out inthe garden as often as I ought to (or want to)At least when it's raining I don't feel giulty because I'm doing something else....perhaps we need an assistant?!
I hope your neck is better - make sure you don't do too much for a while, you don't want to risk a relapse.

mazmezroz, i second what zena has wrote, she does seem a kind and caring person.
Please do mind you don't do to much to quick.
May be you could make a list of jobs in order of importance, then when your fit you can get stuck in to them. I'm sure you will get there in the end.
Try not to get to down as these problems only seem to take longer to mend.
Let's hope for a speedy recovery.

Kind regards Old Herbaceous.

Theres no fool like an old fool.

Hi Mezmerozz

Know how you feel. Had a poxy year last year with things and the plot went to rack and ruin.

Having neck probs myself I'd say don't rush into anything. It's not worth the aggravation. Let it heal properly or you'll be setting yourself up for a longer road to recovery.

Why not enlist the help of some willing "volunteers" to help out in the short term?

Our sheep farmer had a big straw bale fall on him and break a nexckbone. He has been in a frame for months to stop his head moving while it mended, now he has just a collar but his neck is very stiff so now has physiotherapy.It cost him a lot to hire someone to keep things running in the lambing season.He is lucky it wasn't worse.You can't be too careful.
