I forget the rules of gardening every year [View all]

Today I started working outside for the first time this year and immediately forgot three vital rules:

1.Wear sun protection.
2. Never buy more plants than you can plant in one day.
3. Don’t try to spend the entire day gardening until your muscles get used to gardening.

Now I’m sore and sunburnt and still have a flat of violas that need to be planted.
