Yes, Charmion, I guess the horse has already bolted on the WH&S (Work Health & Safety) advice. :-(

I also remembered a weeding tool one of my neighbours showed me.

Grampa's Weeder

It works well. I haven't bought one yet, but that's because our garden is a jungly mess and I wouldn't know which weed to pull out first and besides, the weed-gremlins just come up behind me sprinkling thousands more for every weed I pull out.

I'm a terrible gardener. We've put lots of pots on the top verandah with herbs and veges and some geraniums and lavender. It's within my power to control that lot and they are doing fairly well. We have capsicums, some chilli plants, basil, tiny tomatoes, lemongrass, and we did have some fancy lettuces but they died off with the colder weather.

I don't know what I do wrong with thyme and lemon thyme. They were going great and then, with a wave of it's wicked magic wand the garden fairy killed them both at the same time. I have trouble keeping thyme/time obviously.
