I'm half your age, but have degenerative disk disease, so I take my sweet old time lifting heavy items. I have a lot of strength as I'm a large man, but I have to do the lifts carefully and take frequent breaks to avoid tweaking a nerve.

This was early last year:

Overall, it was a little too crowded, so I decided to move the tomatoes out to a new set of beds. I also have an 8' x 6' section in the corner of the yard. Last year I grew tomatoes there, this year I'm doing squash and pole beans on a tower from Gardeners.com.
