My daughter and family are moving into a London house with a small garden, next to one with same size garden an absolute wilderness of overgrown shrubs and towering weeds and ferns. They are thinking of offering rent to this neighbour to be allowed to grow a few veg at the bottom of the garden. Fence in holes, so easy to come and go. Might secretly hack down some of the undergrowth, if allowed to, as it is bursting through into their garden.
Very sorry to hear about your son's heart attack, Flossy. Sounds as if he was in the right place, as you say. My daughter's father-in-law, a Thames river man, had a heart attack sailing past St Thomas's Hospital, so his mates put him ashore on their landing stage and with 3 minutes he was being treated! Still thriving - had Sunday lunch with him and the rest of the family yesterday.
