I will be 58 tomorrow. Unless some of the grandchildren come, I am the youngest or second youngest person at the Iris Society events. BUT, a lot of these iris folks in their 80's are definitely more healthy and upright than the general population of the same age, so it must be good for us.
Be careful. Use soft mulch. Canes and walkers with chairs help a lot of folks. I have inner ear damage. If I start wobbling from dizzy spells, I am gonna get me some of those props. It is just good physics. I already use a child's step up stool to sit while I weed. That may be too low for some folks. A 5 gallon bucket upside down, might be better.
Also, work out in the Winter. The more our muscles support our bodies, the better. There are simple, easy-ish workouts on youtube.com that help one from becoming bored with exercise.
Next Spring we will be the model iris forum.
Barbara! and Happy Birth Day Too.
