I hate it when that happens. And it’s equally disturbing that I’m not that same Army Ready skinny gal who used to be able to really pack it in in the garden and STILL fit between the rows, LOL!

The injustice of it all! Harmpf! :)

(I’m still skinny on the inside!)

LOL. I was really skinny - 6’ 2” 145 lbs - when I joined in 1972, but went to boot camp, but came out at 185 lbs eight weeks later.

I was so used to getting up at 5 AM and working on the farm before heading for school. I was not used to three big square meals per day. Boot camp was like a vacation for me.

I am still around 190 now, and have to watch how far apart I plant my garden rows. I did use re-bar for staking some of the tomatoes this year. Yes, life is an injustice to us gardeners.
