okay it has been slow so I am going to start posting arthritis Gardening
Ideas to start things off.  Winter will end.  More ideas each day.

Craft ideas for people with arthritis is next - feel free to add anytime.

So tip one!

1.  Stop before you get tired.  If 2 hours of work leaves you overtired or
hurt do one hours work at a time.  Move slowly and easily better to do a
little every day than to do everything at once.  I set a timer when I could
do my garden (flat yard coming up!) and stopped when the timer went off.
That way maybe I could do 2 15 min times during a day where 1/2 hour was too
much.

2.  Always have benches and chairs nearby to encourage you and others to
stop and smell the roses so to speak.

3.  Grow up and out.  Use fences, trellises, poles to grow plants up not
out.

4.  When building fences, trellises and other structures think of them as
potential hand holds and seats. - Build them sturdy and use them!

5.  Weed control - mulch, mulch, mulch.  Use week smothering ground covers
or plant many plants close together to discourage weeds.

more hints tomorrow.
