What a stupid answer…:mad: Geezz. It just goes to show ya therapy is directed by book illustrations well developed after a few months of attending schooling. Not necessarily do therapist understand real people with different healing agendas and different perspectives and healing abilities...

Ducks your a good patient using your walker with a seat while outside . Just an arduous task like pulling weeds all of a sudden feels so good just to be outside and accomplishing those garden tasks that we hate to do. But for some reason after a serious knee surgery those mundane tasks feel...

When washing veggies I use a colander that has handles that pull out on the sides and spread across the sink allowing both hands to remain free. The colander is quite large. I can use 4 of these at once 2 on each side of the sink, gets the job done. Also placing veggies out to dry on boards...

Nasturtiums are a fav annual to grow in the PNW. Once the soil warms up to 60 degrees it’s time to plant and boom they are fast a furious growers. I have read the flowers can be eaten in salads or sugared on cakes. Never tried it .

In my case using chemical sprays for weeds is a bit more complicated than spot spraying a dandelion in cracks in my driveway. There are different needs for different areas and for different types of weeds. Which indeed I do use chemical sprays along my driveway because it is half a block long...

When the garden bug first bit me I tried my best to plant beautiful trees , shrubs available in the nearby stores. They never survived very long. Here’s why. I amended the hard pan clay soil the first year and amended the 2nd year and amended again the 3rd year. It seemed the hard pan clay...

That is also a very good thing to do to keep the stock animals hydrated and the water clean. Rubber ducks and gold fish in stock tanks are great at keeping water fresh especially with a water filler function attached to a hose and faucet.🤠 Just add a plant or two not scrumptious for stock...

In the PNW we have invasive ivy with trunks as big as trees…I just put a bucket over the area where most of the upper portion of the plant is removed and root’s dislodged from the main plant. This robs the plant of sun & water. By the next season it’s compost. This is how I get rid of that...

In my experience with cats inside and outside… they have never tried to get to the pond fish. Water is deep enough and the fish hide in cracks / crevices in rocks in the pond. A small water fall helps the water move to improve oxygen content in the water and a bio filter keeps the water stay...
