Now feeding the curtain climbers was what got me into gahdnen'; and kept me at it till they was grown and flown.
On my second gardening incarnation I did it as something for a gimpy old man to do to pass the time.
I did (and do) best with roommates. I shared as a result my residence with a small stream of adults with developmental disabilities.
The women were certain certain that gardening meant flowers. Produce you see grew on the shelf at the stupormarket.
I found that my utilitarian world view of a, sock isn't worth throwing out till all five of my toes are sticking out. Just was not shared by some of my women roomies.
So, what flower(s) is in your low-mobility, low vision garden?

The ladies had their best luck with sunflower, sulfur cosmo, 4 O'clocks, violets, and a couple others that I will have rummage around in the fortress of seed storage before their names come back to me.
This duo of women with sensory and mobility disabilities got their best traction with identifiable seeds or seed pods.
They put their arms around the concept of drying seeds fairly well once they actually saw or *handled the process.
*blind people do it by touch...
