First I had to give up the allotment, now I cannot do my own back garden having to resort to a ask for one to Take it over. but then as my wife says at 87 I should be acting my age LoL

[mumofstig]

You've had a good innings  but It's always hard to let go of things we've always loved doing, isn't it?

[Lardman]

Sounds more like you've been promoted to management.

My neighbour has trouble bending down, and has some of those raised beds on legs (not cheap, but I think children clubbed together for a birthday or 'the word we cannot say' present.

Could that be a small possibility?

[jezza]

Hello is the word you are thinking of Christmas ve r just got a contract to strim grass in 3 acres of them    jezza

[grinling]

have 87 year old across the road, she has a gardener, but does trim a few flowers herself, the 97 year old neighbour has her son do the grass and awkard stuff, but she still does her greenhouses and hoes a bit.

Not me… I blame the gnome 

[Subversive_plot]

Gnome looks like he's already investigated the . . . (ahem) . . . medicinal properties of that herb. Possibly more than once!

There’s a lot you can grow, dugless, without having to run an allotment

yes but it is getting down to the ground I still do stand up stuff but the heavy work is beyond me.

[Aunt Sally]

My trough is at standing height.  Once you’ve persuaded someone to install and fill it for you the heaviest thing you’d need to lift is a hand fork.

[Growster...]

Have you got a greenhouse, Gugless?

Yes, it may be a bit of an outlay, but there's so much you can grow in one, from onions to toms to cuces etc, and have just as much gardening interest with so much less graft, which I will certainly want when I get to your ripe young age!

Goferit young man!
