I feel that I am of no great use here, but I wonder if "DIY automation" can help you taking some pressure from you. It seems like there are lots of interesting projects and ideas out there that can help you with "keeping plants alive", maybe some of these can lift some weight of your shoulders? Maybe you can automate watering some vegetables by using Arduinos and electronically controlled valves and sth. like that. That could free up time which might improve your quality of life?!?
