A cunning plan....post hospital

Well I have a cunning plan. As som of you may know I am due in hospital 21st April for a complete hysterectomy, and they are having a bit of my liver too (date to be decided) as it has a bit of cancer in it.... so back to serious stuff I cannot lift anything heavier than a cup of coffee for a fortnight then nothing over 1kg for the next two weeks...Argghhh.... Well this will impact timewise on my gardening.......so I have come up with a cunning plan.

I will slowly start to line then put compost in my hanging baskets before I go in hospital and get the plants sourced and put near them so I can plant up....when I feel a little better, just need someone to hang them for me. No problem there.

I have also started clearing out some (okay lots) pots/tubs and refilling with new compost so now I am accumilating a garden (front and back) full of................wait for it............. yes you are right...... plant empty...compost full... pots/tubs...which will be positioned in correct place (before I go in) and therefore ready to plant up .....give me something else to do when I feel up to it.

Cannot have gardening withdrawl symptoms....

Sounds like a good plan and that you've thought it all through properly! I just hope the weather improves so you can enjoy your garden!

Good luck with your treatment and hope it doesn't take you too long to recover.

Sounds well thought out....nothing like withdrawel symptoms to give you a kick start hope it all oes well for you hun xxxx

Good plan! Good luck for the op too!

You're a star you are kazz! Good luck for the op, will be thinking of you. x

Sounds like a great plan, just don't over do it......

Hope everything goes well with your op

Thinking of you x

you are a gardening addict aren't you
I hope your op goes well and take it easy whilst recovering, and only potter around when you feel up to it.

Brilliant idea...I hope the weather improves too so that you can potter about outside.

Hope the op goes ok too xx

That's a good plan, Karen. I hope the weather doesn't nause it all up.

I'm eager to plant my pots and baskets, but it's just too cold. Maybe another four weeks and we'll be in the clear. Your timing sounds just perfect

Big hugs chick x0x

Thats a great plan and will help to keep you occupied.
I hope the op goes well and take it easy afterwards don't do what I did and a week later hop on your bike (because it was too painful to wear a car seatbelt) and cycle to the supermarket to do your shopping and do all your housework as normal.
I had no choice as I had a young daughter at the time and nobody to help me. It done me no harm but if you have someone to help you then make the most of the chance to rest and relax.
