If you have an able bodied friend, young person in the family or someone who would normally give you a gift on your birthday or holiday, ask for a gift of work in the garden. Mixing compost, moving stones, tilling, can all be wonderful gifts that save your back. Consider hiring a local student to do the heavy work that strains your back. Lots of young people can't find summer jobs and are more than willing to spend a few hours a week working for you. You might just turn them into a gardener for life.
