Ouch!
That is going to put you behind on the spring garden chores.

How awful! Be careful.

Ach du lieber Himmel! Sometimes one doesn't know ones own strength or underestimates the strength of what one is dealing with! That must have hurt - and may hurt for a while.
Be careful, Anneliese!

Hope you're feeling better. I myself couldn't disturb a bed of moss... or a moss-covered boulder...so beautiful. What were you going to plant? josh

That sounds really painful! You don't know your own strength! :>)

Now where did my post from yesterday evening go? If somebody finds it where it don't belong, ignore it.
Josh, I wanted to plant a chinese dogwood, as a replacement for a tree I lost during the icestorm.. I have several wild dogwoods but thought it would be nice to have a later blooming tree. It still sits in it's pot.

A fine choice...I think both the Cornus florida and the C. cousa are among the loveliest of trees year-round. If your potted tree is old enough to possibly bloom this year, you might wait until Fall to plant...just be sure to keep watered. I can no longer lift a pickaxe, much less swing one..you may have to container-garden this season as I do. I've dozens of trees/shrubs etc. in pots which grow slowly but some are 10-15 years old now. It also is a good way to grow more trees than you have room for (as at my former home), and I was so glad to be able to move them with me.

Take care and allow plenty of time for your wrists to heal. I imagine even ordinary tasks are painful. josh
