Adventure Gardening

Adventure and gardening, there appears to be some confusion in combining those two words.

Not so, when you are a person who gardens from a powerchair. Especially if you have a tendency towards calculated risk.

There have been quite a number of times where I have fallen from my transport because of over-reaching. This has mostly occurred when exhausted, overheated, or both.

Results have varied. Most times, this just involves climbing back into the chair (with some difficulty), a solo exercise. Other times have required me to firstly get the attention of my wife, and if she was unable to help, enlist the help of a neighbor.

There have been a few times where the situation resulted in my being, on the lawn or concrete, and on one occasion, a garden bed. These times needed the ambulance. When that happened, because of my being overheated, a stay in hospital resulted.

Be assured gardening will continue, along with some calculated risk taking.

Until next week.

Very best wishes.

KEN.
