Things to remember:

Gardening can be as calm or strenuous as you make it.

If it has been a while since your last physical checkup, you might want to see your doctor before you have a weekend warrior gardening mishap.

There's one more tip, and I cannot emphasize this one enough. Your most important tools for a lifetime of gardening enjoyment are sunscreen and a wide brimmed hat!
