Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hi Joan, I have a little story about squatting in the garden. My R. knee cap pops out of place. I was busy pruning, when I tried to get up and couldn't because of the knee cap. Somehow or other, I just couldn't catch myself and tipped over sideways into the azaleas - poor things! ) My kids still laugh about it. At the time, I just wanted to shoot them cause it took a few moments for them to recover themselves before they helped me up. Haven't squatted much since!

It really makes gardening difficult. Even pruning the roses last week was really hard on my lower back. Joan ________________________________ From: " maryanne.waspe1@...
