I couldn’t handle wheelbarrows either when they decided to be recalcitrant.

We use a gorilla cart.

I ‘ll get an image of it when I’ m on my computer at home.

You definitely have me considering this. Even though we don’t have a ton of yard, maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of an acre is our lawn and garden beds part, we are built onto a slope. We have learned that this parcel sat unpurchased for quite some time until a master gardener (the original owner) saw it and decided it could be built on. So one side is terraced and the other side is sloped. That sloped side is where I was working.

A neighbor was getting rid of her abundant milkweed, so I went over and helped dig the ones out of the ground that she didn’t want in that spot. I used to have lots of milkweed a few years ago, and then for whatever reason it just stopped producing so many plants. I don’t know if these transplants will even take, but I’m giving them a shot again. Fingers crossed. I love watching the monarchs cycle from eggs to butterflies. They are fascinating. I’ve been able to witness the caterpillars go into their J and then spin themselves into pupae. Really cool process. A few weeks later, the beautiful butterfly emerges. Nature is so cool.
