Our neighbor is an elderly woman but she still loves to garden. My wife and I help a bit, but one idea she had has turned her...and our lives around. She has 3 earth boxes, and asked me to help get them in coaster wagons because dragging them in and out of the garage was getting a bit much. It didn't take her long to discover her "garden on wheels" allowed her to cheat mother nature a week or two in the spring and in the fall. I have since built a trellis bolted to one of the wagons for her to enable her to grow full-sized indeterminate tomatoes.

Because I'm a heartless thief, I stole the idea, except I made my own "earth buckets" and grow hot peppers in them. But her discovery...that she can wheel her babies inside when it gets cool was the thing I really filched.

Would it help you?
