Load up your spray bottle with some white vinegar, and spray the weeds away instead of breaking your back removing them by hand.
Some houseplants may need humidity. You can create some humidity by grouping various plants within one pot or moving a single plant into a bigger pot and filling its gap with stones or compost. Another way to give houseplants some humidity is to mist them with a bit of water a few times every day.
Put money into a quality wheelbarrow and kneeling stool if you plan to do garden work often. Get a portable stool if you want to garden comfortably without damaging your knees. You often need to move large objects from place to place, so it's a good idea to have a sturdy, well-balanced wheelbarrow.
Don't you hate it how fresh mint leaves take over all of your garden, even though you love them? You can control their growth by placing them into a pot or container. If you would like, go ahead and plant the container and the plant right in the ground to prevent root overtake.
Shoveling soil that is mostly clay can be difficult because of the hardness of the soil, and because it sticks to the shovel. To make digging clay soil easier, try applying a light coating of wax, either car wax or floor wax, and then buff off and commence digging. You will be able to work with the clay more easily, and it will not stick to your shovel.

In addition, beds of heather are usually left alone. Because of this, insects that are good for your garden often make them a home, such as beetles or spiders. If you do have to tend to your heather, wear gloves in case you accidentally annoy one of the residents!
