Gardening without hurting!!

Hi everybody

Even though it seems like we will never see the end of this rain, the long week end is approaching and the gardening season. Here are a few tips that can help you make sure you do not overdue it.
-Stretch upper back and arms before starting
-Make sure to bend your knees, do no bend at the waist when planting.
-When you pick up something heavy bring the weight close to you and bend your knees to lift
-Take breaks
-Make sure to drink and stay hydrated
-If you feel pain stop and ice for 10 min


Hope these few tricks will help your gardening season go a little smoothly!!!
