    Welcome to the forum, @Tee . I see that you have arthritis, but do not say what type. I can give you this link to general information, but if you tell us a bit more about your condition, I am sure that more information that is specific to you will flow.

    Hi Tee

    I have osteoarthritis in my right knee and do enjoy getting out in my garden as much as possible, especially at this time of year.

    I also try and pace myself as I too feel it the next day. I have a large garden and this year have had to get a gardener in for the first time , to dig over my vegetable patches. I have started off some vegetables of which my dear husband has planted them for me. Now I just need to feed and keep them watered and hopefully will be picking my organic crops later in the year.

    I find it very relaxing and theraputic, just being outside with nature. I do also feed the birds and do go birdwatching which is also extremely calming and rewarding.

    Enjoy your garden.😊
