Are you an aging-in-place gardener? You know the type—people like my 91-year-old mother who is still growing tomatoes and other vegetables, summer flower pots on the porch, and houseplants galore. She is not quite as active as she used to be, and she has downsized some of the garden.
Or are you a gardener who is getting arthritis? My shoulder really hurts when I lift my arm too high. Have you had your knees replaced? I know several gardeners who have gone through one or both knee replacements. Even if you are a young gardener now, you are getting older every day, and the time will come when old age sneaks up on you.
