I wish I could do that which sounds like all the gardening I ever did, even in my prime. But after a bad fall and with 3 pins in my hip, I had to give up standing on one leg to use a spade. And so, welcome to container gardening. Or planting in pots. Last summer I was sitting on my deck, surrounded by pots, feeling sorry for myself, missing my ‘real’ garden and watching a daddy long legs. Then a hummingbird came to sample the heucheras and as I got up I almost stepped on a leaf which hopped, a baby toad. Not perhaps the Garden of Eden, but welcome home to my new real garden.

My Mom progressed from gardening in the ground to raised gardens to watching me do the work to gardening on her windowsill. If you love it, you love it!
