"Gill Smith" wrote any young'uns here? p.s. I'm dead, BTW I doubt it for two reasons.. 1. gardening is something most people grow into so gardeners as a group tend to be older, and knowledgeable gardeners older still. 2. few young people have ever heard of USENET and Newsgroups. They are into Facebook and Twitter (inane chatter! IMO) -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |

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!
