I'm in my mid 70s now and it's a lot of work to keep it looking good. Wife thinks we should sell the place and move to town. I'm not to thrilled about that, but that day maybe sooner than I like.

I expect she'll be a bit envious.

But good question. I'd like to know the answer, too.

(10 posts)Beautiful garden,
I`m 77 now, I don`t garden near as much as I used to . Fresh sweet corn, fried green tomatoes, green beans and different kinds of squash. I have 20 or so different kinds of fruit trees, thanks to arthritis I can`t prune them any more. I don`t think I`m alone but as soon as my garden is done it can snow. I have a good recipe for salsa if anyone wants it.
