What are the tasks that you most love to do in the garden? Your transformed garden will accentuate the things you love to do and try to diminish the tasks you don't like so much. You may have to get creative about how you keep your favorite activities in the picture. Will you need to upgrade paths or stairs? Handrails or gripping posts in strategic locations? A graded slope instead of steps? What can / can't be changed to improve your ability to use the garden in the ways you most enjoy? The benefits of gardening are still out there--lowered blood pressure, exercise, keeping the spirit-mind-body thing whole. And we will go to amazing lengths to do the things we enjoy. If you love planting thingsÂevery yearÂbut you can see that getting down on your knees to plant a dozen flats of favorite annuals just isn't going to cut it for much longer, then think how you can satisfy that love. Raised beds, container displays, and hanging baskets come to mind. Also, you might upgrade to a spacious potting table, at just the right height, with all your tools conveniently to hand Here's a funny one for you. I love to sweep. Yeah, the blind gal likes the rhythmic methodical corraling of debris off the patios in back. Because I'm blind, and because I've always hated loud motors, I don't really want anything to do with motorized blowers. They turn me instantly into Helen Keller, blind and deaf. SoÂI don't yet need to plan a garden where someone else takes over a chore that I like to do. Create your own special space. I'm presuming that you will follow the general suggestions to think through your overall landscape design and to move toward more shrubs, small ornamental trees, and types of perennials of the reliably less demanding order. Since there is no such thing as a garden that can be put entirely on automatic pilot, this shift in design and plant material may give you plenty to do. But you may want to incorporate or accentuate an area or two that will work especially well for you. It might be a shaded meditation spot with some seating in it that is particularly kind to your body. Maybe the same area has a raised bed nearby which allows you to sit on the edge of the bed and fuss with the plants there. Or maybe you could shift from being a general plantaholic to becoming a tulip nut, or daylily crazy, or a hosta fanatic. There's something to be said for these old workhorses. They'll come up in pots, raised beds, or dirt piles in the driveway. There are endless varieties to collect and grow. If you've done your homework in converting your overall landscape to less maintenance, then you might find a focus on a particular plant a fun way to keep your passion for collection satisfied. Hope this helps. Wellspring

Nadia I think you will really like it. I love that it slides out of the way, and is flush with my upper cabinets. I have a galley kitchen so this was absolutely perfect for me. Just be aware that it is light and not very heavy. The motor is heavy though,...if that makes sense. At first I was disappointed thinking it was flimsy, because I had nothing to compare it to. But it made the installation a breeze. There are three buttons on there that are not marked. I called the company and asked them how do I know which ones are which? The first one is 200 cfm, then 300 cfm then 600 cfm. There is also a timer button. The LED lights are really nice and light up my cooking surface very much. Also remember to turn the fan on before you start cooking, this really helps. One other thing I noticed is that when sautéing the surrounding area on my stove is cleaner,...bonus! For me the mesh will be a lot easier to clean than baffles. The mesh screens on these units pop out very easily. But this is a controversial subject on GW.

I haven't gotten the prizes mailed yet. I came down with a "cold" and have been staying in just in case ... my COVID test kits are expired but show as negative when I take the test. However, they say not to use them if they are expired so I don't know. Hopefully I'll feel up to going out a little by tomorrow.
