How lucky your mother is to have her health. I am 80 and gardening was my great love since a child. Some years ago I got Sepsis and lost all balance and use of my feet. I am in bed unless my home help can take me out in a wheelchair. Weather permitting. I have to admit to being very envious of this lady. Long May she garden.

I really feel for you reading this , but at least people like Googie and other gardeners can help you in spirit and bring you Joy however the circumstances , it’s not the same I know , but I pray 🙏 you feel the Joy of it and the memories you have return , all the best ❤️🩹

Dearest Carol ,I feel for you as I am in similar circumstances so I understand the frustrations of an avid gardener unable to move freely anymore . Now I get great joy looking at the garden I started over 30yrs ago and have mature trees to look at but oh dear no more raking Autumn leaves or planting out beloved seedlings .Now the joy comes from watching the native birds return ( I live in a small town by the sea in NewZealand ) to make their homes in the mature trees and eating the various fruit in season .I hope you have good things to look at to refresh your spirit .❤

I have just come across this video today, 28:06:23, and MUST make a comment before I've even watched it! Mainly because my mother had a cousin called Googie, which is a rather unusual name and I'd never heard of another one until now. Our Googie's real name was Helen. She was also a keen gardener, for her 90th birthday she bought herself a new greenhouse! At 102 she moved into sheltered living but still went to the gym to tone her arms ... she said that she had to in order to be still able to put the rollers in her hair! She died just 30 days short of her 106th birthday. I hope your mother has an equally long and happy life. ❤

Very clever,had to laugh I’ve never planted potatoes either and want to give it a go.
