The Frustrated Gardner

Sorry to here your not well at moment, but just take care not to do anything to soon when your feeling a bit better,as they say the garden will still be here when i'm not. Hope you feeling better soon 6wks will fly past.

Keep your spirits up Sueb and rest that foot,think of all the ideas and plans you will be able to work on when the time is right,I agree with your comment on Goy I spend a lot of nights on my own due to hubby,s working hours and this site has certainly helped me through this winter, get a lot of laughs as well as learning........

Frustrating Sueb, when the mind is willing but the body weak! I am sure several of us have been there, for various reasons! Keep cool and plan lots to keep your head busy, don't get about too soon or 6 weeks will become a lot longer!
Welcome to GOY!

oh sueb that sounds really painful and so frustrating for you!! glad we are all keeping you sane, just think in 6 weeks it will be all sunshine and flowers (well i live in hope!!)
Get well soon, and rest up!

Sorry to hear youre off your feet...but lots of time to make plans as Pg says..dont try to do anything much or it could set you back !

You poor thing! We'll try to keep you cheerful. It won't be long before you are back ou there again. In the meantime, do some armchair gardening with us!

Terrible to be so unable to get on. I hope you get better soon. I'm glad you've enjoyed reading the blogs etc.

Thank you all so much for your kind messages I know the next 6 weeks will go by quickly with my new found friends
Thank you again Sue B :O)

So sorry to hear you are laid up Sue. You do just as the doctors recommend and stay off that foot. If you push it and put weight on it too soon it will just make your healing longer. It will be no time at all before you are out there in your garden. And by then, the weather is sure to be better too. Get well quickly....Gilli :o)

don't rush the rehab sue , this is a great site , it could take you 6 weeks to see everyones pics and blogs!!...............steve

hi sueb, having had surgery on a joint problem last october [suffered for 18months] follow all physio instructions, dont try and sneak off into the garden too soon as it will only put you back. enjoy planning what you will do when fully up to speed and read about all our antics. i wish i had found this site earlier. wishing you a speedy recovery.

I promise to be good and do as I’m told. Just had the stiches out, every day will be a day closer to getting down the greenhouse where I’m told there is something green poking out in a pot on the bench when quizzed as to which pot I was told the black one with the green thing poking through poor lamb he’s an engineer not a gardener!!

Have the lamb carry it up to you to see it...he is trying to torture you for sure..! LOL...Hope you are out there gardening soon....ouch... achilles tendon...ouch...sorry...

Hi Catfinch~ I asked the lamb to bring the black pot with the green thing in so I could have a look, after a few grumbles and groans off he trotted returning a few moments later with said pot. To my utter delight it’s the Eremerus (foxtail Lilly) I rescued from my mother-in-laws garden just before she moved house. It’ now about 2cms high and looking good,

Yay!!!!! ....was lamb less grumbly after seeing your delight!

Oh Yes! It must have done some good he's been out in the garden working since 9am this morning. :0)

Oh..now he really is a lamb..has he brought any more pots in to show you?

Yes! I have seen the pot of black tulips planted last year. He asked, “What weeds are these?” now he’s busy laying power and water into the greenhouse. I think he is hoping once I am on my feet I’ll be down there night and day! I’ll try and get a photo when he’s not looking.

Well..now this achilles tendon business is a bit far to go to get water and power into your greenhouse..LOL..but at least some good will come of it!...Glad he asked about the weedy looking tulips..LOL..oh my..lol..would love to see pics...

Anything green he does't know the name of is a weed in his book! Just added a pic not very good taken on my phone.:0) I'm doing well he's just finished the kitchen it's only taken him 10 years!!

LOL...glad you got your kitchen finished and power and water to your greenhouse...goodness..if you have to stay off your foot much longer..what else will he find to do!...saw the picture..glad for you! Sweet lamb..too... :o)
