As I said on one of these threads, I wanted to build something a little nicer looking, but time got away from me, and I spotted these two shelf units sitting out in the weather with some other stuff and a little light went on. The boards are not very good ones that I never used for their original purpose. The bottom of the tubs is exactly 32” from the ground, which is just right to me for not having to bend over. This is just something for me to toy with, using some culled seedlings that would have been thrown away. They are about 3” tall but don’t show in this picture. Deeper tubs would have added too much weight when filled. It all may collapse in a soaking rainstorm anyway!

rightly, on the last thread I said I needed the handicap thing for shopping due to my knees. I wasn't talking about gardening then. It's true my lower back vertebra has little cushion between three of them and I bend down about three times and that better be it if I want to walk the next day. Well, today was way more times than three with al the planting and I just finished more planting inside the house and bending over and over where the grow lamp is. I won't bend over tomorrow.

If something is on the floor tomorrow, it's staying there until another day. I have to rest up tomorrow for engineer is supposed to be here Sunday and that means more work in the garden. I think he'll have to move those containers himself without much help from me. Right now, the pain would be too bad to bend one more time. I'm about to take a pain pill.

Greeneyes, I had to do that planting outside and inside. I need a robot to bend over, pick up stuff and put down stuff, for me. They have had prototypes of robots for years but I don't see any on the shelf to buy. I just have to transplant carrots tomorrow in the house and that's it for a while of transplanting. When my seed starter gets here, then I'll start more seeds to replace those that didn't come up in Jiffy. I think I'll have some Amaretto with my pain pill.
