I love gardening both in SL and in RL!

One of the best things about SL gardening is that I'm not a physical wreck when I'm finished for the day. Of course I haven't got any benefits from the exercise either.

Back in RL,I just gotmy delivery of garden soil so will be spending the weekend shoveling, planting & raking. I'm hoping to do that without using up too much of my Advil supply by following some sensible tips which I've shared in this post:

Plant & Rake without the Ache

Hee I missed this, we went yesterday and got soil to amend the little beds in front of our house ... weeds won't even grow there. Eeeks! Helpful post, I'll be working the beds sloooowly to avoid pain, then put in geraniums and petunias in shades of pinks and reds (probably). I just planted two old-fashioned peonies in the back, which I got from the specimen and display garden of the University of Alberta (they sell divided plants for a fundraiser), looking forward to seeing how they do, one of them is a division from a plant that is known to have grown in Edmonton for over 100 years! I think it'll survive the winter - and my gardening.

Wow, those peonies sound wonderful! Don't you just love when you find a true gardening treasure like that. Post some pics if you get a chance, I'd love to see.

We got through our first load of soil and I'm actually ordering another one. It's going to have to wait though because it's just too hot this week for that kind of work (right now it's 108F/ 42C).

I have to say that those tips helped me a lot, especially the one about taking a brief break at least 3 times per hour. I'm prone to working until I practically seize up and have to drag myself away which means I'm not so keen to continue the next day. Well, live & learn

It's ... it's what?? O.o girl those are Texas temperatures ... 25C in Edmonton tomorrow, we have had a LOT of rain this month though which has kept us cool (good thing as we didn't have so much snow this winter).

I meant to mention (but forgot) that was with the Humidex. In any case it's hot & I'm hoping for rain soon so send some our way
