David Beckham finds comfort in new hobby amid recovery from surgery

David Beckham appears to be calming his nerves after wrist surgery with a bit of therapeutic gardening.

While still wearing a sling during his recovery, the former soccer legend hopped back into the field to dig up some homegrown potatoes.

On Saturday, June 28, his wife Victoria Beckham shared the latest pictures of her husband of 25 years, after leaving fans concerned with an earlier update about Sir David enduring "unbearable" pain.

As she shared pictures of her husband over the weekend celebrating his mother’s 76th birthday with a rainbow-themed cake, the Spice Girls singer's following Instagram Stories showed her longtime partner squatting in their garden with a potato in one hand.

A small shovel lay in front of him as he smiled, with two freshly dug, dirt-covered potatoes resting beside the gardening tool.

The footballer turned entrepreneur has frequently offered glimpses about his newfound passion for gardening and beekeeping in recent months.

In a lighthearted video shared on his Instagram account in April, Victoria filmed her husband of 25 years as he knelt in the backyard of their home to pick some white radishes and began to joke with him.

With David all smiles and tending to his crops, it seemed he was well on the road to recovery, proudly showing off his batch of homegrown vegetables.
