7. Wish I lived closer and could offer you physical help.

I do understand your anguish. I know I am emotionally as well as financially invested in my garden. I think you should try and keep whatever you think you could manage and still have it be therapeutic rather than burdensome.

As for the rest, Craigslist might be a way to make a little money.

Or, you could donate some of your plants to a community garden like this one: http://www.georgiastreetcc.com/IN-THE-GARDEN.html so you could still visit them now and then.

I know I'd be willing to send you some cuttings in future to help rebuild your collection if/when you are ready and I'll bet other DU gardeners would do the same.


Don't get discouraged. Do what you can handle. Know that you're not alone.
