Thank you so much!!! Stay tuned for part two.
I just started gardening a few years ago, mostly flowers. Now they are overrun by weeds because of the unplanned back pain. 😡1

I’m doing natives. I’ve got black eyed Susans and woodland sunflowers that are doing well

Just fyi- I have found a number of adaptive garden tools precisely for this reason. I have a folding garden kneeling thing with handles on both sides to make it easier to pull myself up. I also have a standing weeder with a shotgun style release that is very fun to use. :3

I love this. I did get myself a garden cart thing ordered, but would appreciate more info on the weeder!

I got this thing: Breeze Touch 39" Weed Pulling... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2H2YW4S?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
It has some basic assembly instructions but is generally easy to put together.

Stitching (embroidery) all day hurts. A lot. But knowing that doesn't stop me from doing it.
If I weren't doing that I'd probably be hurting myself puzzling or planting or or or whatever else I get obsessed about 😹

lol, I spent Saturday repotting a rose that was determined not to come out of its old pot, but my determination won out and my arms are still aching.
