Hi there, I am so happy it is nearly Spring here :) Longer days and shorter nights and more sunshine(hopefully!),nesting birds and the garden starts to burst into life again :) One of the things Spring means to me is more time in the garden. I love my garden. 
However , with herniated and dessicated discs in my lower back I have learnt to protect my back and do my gardening in a slightly different way...
Back pain is often cited as a culprit of causing back injury, especially in the spring when us gardeners have perhaps been taking it a little easier in the winter then burst into action with the first flowers!!!
Also if you have a back issue gardening may seem a daunting task rather than a pleasure.
If you want to avoid back pain from gardening or are keen to know how to still carry on gardening with back issues read on...
I am excited to tell you about my new squidoo site which is dedicated to

So whether or not you have back pain right now take a look and I hope you find it useful :)
It is important if you are to enjoy your gardening the whole season through that you look after your back.
If you already have back and sciatic pain and still want to do your garden, or you don't have back pain and want to avoid it -follow this link to
