Gardening and Healthcare!

Gary, you're an avid gardener. I am. How has gardening impacted on your, you know, feeling with illness? Oh my gosh, it's my escape. It's my escape and it's my reward regarding my illness. Sometimes when I'm mentally dealing with issues where I'm not feeling 100%, you know, but I don't necessarily class myself as ill, I can find I can distract myself by doing some gardening. Another thing is if I've had bad news or I've got to face taking a new regime of medication, I find if I'm feeling frustrated or stressed, I can actually take it out on the earth and the earth doesn't fight back, it will reward me a few months down the line. what I've done to it and what I've planted in it will look good. And I often sometimes look at the garden and think, you're a result of my bad temper and my bad health at times. It's a constant thing you go back to then, is it? Is it a constant thing you go back to? It's a constant in your life that sticks to you? Oh it is, because it constantly requires maintenance. And also in the hot summer months, it requires watering on a daily basis. So I keep expecting one day we'll be told, you know, you can't use the hovers anymore. But for the moment, I do. And I find that one of the greatest joys of raffling the hovers is going out and watering. Because you see the progress each of the plants have made and, you know, what's new, what's just appearing. And also a lot of the insect life. I really admire the insect life in the garden. I've got three bird baths, which I regularly find myself standing at my bedroom window watching the birds fluttering away in the bath and the water splashing everywhere. Listen, Gary, if nothing else, we expect regular updates on gardening for healthcare. We will, yeah. Think of me as Monty Don.
