Gardening for Old Folks (Adaptative)

Oops the cattle fencing looks like a great way to keep the chickens out of the veggies maybe?

I think the chickens may squeeze through it. We use welded wire around any gardens I wish to keep my chickens out of. Both 2 foot and 3 foot keeps them out. The cattle panels are good for arbors.

And in case anyone is wondering I did get my second knee replaced last Friday. Lots of moaning, and crying. I forgot how hard this is. My head is a bit wonky from pain pills. Today is better than yesterday. That's all I can hope for from each day.

I hope each day gets better OHLD

I just got my foot stuck under the foot stool while sitting and bent my leg quickly. After an hour of crying, and letting the pills kick in I'm finally able to tolerate it again. That I didn't need.

Thank you. It's nice to know people care.

Please more pictures of raised bed types. Straw bale and wood. I have lupus with arthritis and fibromyalgia so any idea pictures would help

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis along with Osteoarthritis. It's hard to garden on flat ground. I use cinder blocks for my raised beds. They take a bit of work to get them set up unless you have a nice level area. They hold up very well. Also gives you a place to sit and take a rest when needed. Adding arches gives me a shady place to sit when I start getting hot.



I have 6 of these in my garden. My first year to use them and I have no complaints. I have a smaller one I've used for a few years in front of my chicken coop. I will be moving it this winter to a new location.




If you don't have a lot of room, containers work well also. I grow peppers & tomatoes on my porch in large pots.

@oldhenlikesdogs ~ I've never had a knee replaced, but my Mom has had both of hers done. I understand what you are going through. I know the pain can be almost unbearable. I pray you heal quickly with as little pain as possible.

I like the arches! Your raised garden beds look good.
