LOL, Aimee! Yes, I was referring to the young green plants, not the young, inexperienced gardeners! We live in a society that doesn't properly value the experience of others, particularly the aged and/or disabled. We keep offering assistance, but seldom stop and learn from them.

We have a local gardener that is in her 80's and I always listen to what she has to say about the things she grows. She doesn't know the botanical names... they're Leaping Leenas or Blooming Bettys, etc., but she knows exactly what to do to make them grow.

She didn't do a scientific study, she just learned over the years from her own experiences and from the experiences of others. She still gardens, though her knees give her trouble, and she loves to sit on the steps and visit with fellow gardeners.
