Rrae, I didn't have much of a weekend. Spent most of it on my hands and knees helping my husband battle the chickweed invasion. We've never had it before, and can't imagine why we have it now.

Cy, I don't know how you do it. Here is my problem. I haven't been able to squat in years, and need something nearby when I pull myself up from the ground. I can crawl around on my hands and knees but need hubby to help me up. So, I can only assist with garden work, I can't do it independently.

I've considered one of these contraptions (Gardener's kneeling/sitting bench):



But I'm not sure if it would be sturdy enough, or high enough (19"), to be much help in pushing myself to a standing position. I use a cane, but have thought about a walker just for garden/yard work. Any suggestions?
