I don't wear my glasses so keep my blood pressure low. I also tend to garden with the other half. He spends an hour collecting slugs and snails  and transports them 120m up the road to some green space. 20m would do but he wants to make sure they don't come back as they have a homing instinct: who knew! 
Apparently there are big frogs in the garden too!
I like the end results of gardening and I'd enjoy it more without the creepy crawlies! Before Ben moved in I'd hire a gardener!  |

"i dont mind any of that,,i love time out in the garden, just wish i was fit enough to do more of it x "
I have trouble kneeling to plant, but digging, sifting, pruning, sweeping, potting etc are all manageable and keep you fit. I ache more after an hour in the garden than after a two mile walk round trip to the gym and a hours workout! |

Just where I need to be. |
I always thought that gardening was meant to be a relaxing time.I don't like snails or slugs if I touch one I'm jumping up and down swearing ffs.I can stand my ground with people being aggresive to me in my job but a slug I go to jelly they just freak me out. |

I do gardening as some of my work..so don't mind creepy crawlies and all that stuff..Even rescue slugs and snail's from the path of the lawnmower. .though saying that the magpies usually swoop down and have them. .out of the frying pan so to speak. . |
