So, I gardened for an hour and a half this evening. I used both my weed thing and my neighbour's weed thing and I can conclusively say I like hers better. Even with using my wrist brace, my hand was still wrecked using my puller. The plunger is just too damn hard to use. I don't know if over time the mechanism loosens up or what but right now it just makes your palm sore trying to release the weed. My neighbour's weed puller on the other hand is spring loaded. You just push down on the handle and the weed pops out of the holding thing.
So to update, I finished the side under the living room window, and got about three quarters of the side under the bedroom window done. Tomorrow, if I can get up early enough or Wednesday evening if I can't, I will try to finish off the side under the bedroom window. Hopefully, I will be able to get a start on the big patch across the way as well. We'll see how it goes I guess. I'm trying to limit myself to an hour or so a day so I don't wreck myself. Also, I think I need to invest in some sort of bin that I can put the weed bag in otherwise I'm still doing a fair bit of bending just getting the bag open to pop the weeds into.
Final note: It has come to my attention that dandelions are only pretty for .0005 seconds, then they become hideous slavering dead headed monsters with razor sharp fangs that spend their days choking the life out of the other plants. I suspect some sort of protection racket. I'm expecting a gang of them to come knocking at my patio door demanding recompense otherwise the daisies will sleep with fishes.
