God love her! That's going to be me soon enough. I hope I can keep up the pace and still wield a shovel when I'm her age. We have our community gardens and lifelong passion for gardening in common. She is amazing!

Stoc, thank you for sharing this delightful and awe-inspiring video! It does all of us good to see something like this. I'd like to be her neighbour! :-)

Thanks again,
Jo.

Bless this lady...I not only hope I live to age 95, but if I do, I also hope to be able-bodied enough to garden!

Man, her shovel is in pristine condition. She takes care of her tools. Hope I can keep going like that.
