[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 478053, member: 3162"] My maternal grand dad was in his late 80's when we made him quit the garden. He had a bum knee. He would take a folding chair and move it along, setting and using the hoe. Get up and move it, and set back down and hoe. Folks would come and buy fruit from him. He'd give them a bucket and point at the peaches or plums or figs to be picked. Boysenberry harvests were a family affair. He and my grandmother were always happy so long as they could do things and had independence. They were always self sufficient. About the only things they bought from stores were paper products, medicines, coffee and spices. He had to quit milking in his mid 80's. Gave his milk cow to a neighbor on the pledge of getting two gallons of whole milk from her every week. [/QUOTE]
