I am so embarrassed.

Hey, you don’t have to pay me a penny, and I can tell just reading your post what not to do.

Don’t garden!!
Seriously, though. If it is impacting your ability to walk so much, how about just getting it set up so it needs little care, just enough to not embarrass your family in front of the neighbors. Only doing light work on it that doesn’t strain you, and if you have to, hiring someone or coercing your family to do the rest of it. Even if you love it (or feel burdened by it), this may be something to let go, to keep your mobility at its best.
