  Didn't weep - somehow she was too positive and got too much enjoyment from her garden for me to feel sad - but amazed and as Steve said, humbled.  How can anything every be too difficult or too much of a pain for me to do ever again?

  I agree with the above.....yes, very humbling to witness such positivity and ability to overcome adversity without complaint.

  She's a truly remarkable woman.  The way she repeated "I love my garden" showed how much pleasure she gets from it despite her difficulties.

  Elizabeth was bloomin awesome! I loved how she has a really strong connection with the plants and that she uses different senses, maybe because of her restrictions.. For example the cucumber leaves 'feeling a bit thin', and therefore needing water. I would love to see her featured again, GW, I think we could all learn a lot from Elizabeth!

  SWMBO had a cry, as others I thought she was great the way she got on and enjoyed her garden. Very humbling.
