What lawn or garden chore do you find the most difficult, challenging, tedious, unpleasant, etc., and why?Removing invasive plants from our wildflower garden. Need to get on it earlier than in the past because the invasive we are after hides under and among the perennial wildflower plants; also, chiggers come out by August, mosquitoes in June.

Need motivation. Feel overwhelmed. Feel bad if I'm working indoors and neglecting the outdoors; but also feel bad if I'm working outdoors and neglecting the indoors.
What’s your favorite thing to grow, and why?Green beans! (Kentucky Wonder pole beans.) Can't harvest until late in the season, but they are such a reliable crop, and very tasty.
What emotions do you experience when you think about downsizing?Sadness at the thought of giving up gardening (or most of it, anyway).
Fear of loss of privacy.

Reluctance to give up food prep - not that I enjoy cooking, but food allergies and intolerances and preferences make it unlikely that I would find enjoyable and nutritious foods if I transitioned to a place that offered meals.

Some relief if there was less to take care of.
When do you expect to downsize your living arrangements?I expect to live in my current home until the end of my life.
How would you feel about having to give up 50% or more of your current possessions in a downsizing move?
Piece of cakeNeutralCompletely overwhelmed
