o.uk...
any young'uns here?

What's your definition of a young un?
Under 30, under 40, under 50?

Do we care? The last thing gardening needs is that kind of daft
polarisation.


I've always found that the older one is, the more wisdom to share.

My children are now in their 30s or close to that and some have children
of their own. I greatly enjoy getting their povs even while I'm touched
and pleased that when they need it, they ask for mine.
My daughter has been going to gardening classes for a few years now,
until this year they have all been older than her. She has enjoyed it
very much, it was hands on with people bringing in plants for help and
discussion. This year the tutor was forbidden (why?) from contacting the
previous members, with the result that the new students are much
younger. As all they do is type into their laptops and notebooks, rarely
looking up. No spirited discussions and arguments, so she is giving it
up. so it seems young is not always better!
