Was I dreaming or was there a news item this morning about an RHS
experiment in the effects of talking to plants? (the effect being on
the plant, not the person).
If I heard right then the plants tested showed a more favourable
response to the sound of a female voice.
The RHS rep seemed to be saying all gardeners talk to their plants.
Well, not all!
I can't say I was ever so inclined as to talk to a plant, other then
to utter something like, "oh come on" when having difficulty in
digging one out.
