Thank you
What a great idea Pauline - sounds like you have a really comfortable cushion and I know just how it is to suffer from back problems, I am sure we are not alone in suffering that. I put my back out twice earlier in the year and most gardening jobs were too painful for me to do. However with gentle easy exercises the pain has diminished to a level that I can cope with but I do have to leave all the heavier work for others to undertake. I hope you continue to enjoy your garden and gardening with the comfort of your cushion.

Yes I know what it's like to have a bad back,i have to be careful how long I stoop down to do weeding or planting,or I get a lot of pain. I can't lift anything heavy or I get numbness in my right leg or sometimes both legs. But it doesn't stop me from doing things. Hope your better soon.
I think we are wonderful at finding ways round our various problems in order to keep gardening
I dig a fork (now too heavy to use) into the ground I grasp the handle to give me support when on a steep slope in part of the garden.
It's Stacey that was the chilli grower, RB
Glad you've found a way to help you continue enjoying your garden, Pauline.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
