Am I the youngest??

[CrazyConure]

Just been pondering on the idea that I may be the youngest member on the forum (not that I have a problem with that.)

I'm 17--turning 18 in December. What is the average age group here?

Well, I am a young 69

Oh honey, I'm younger than you. I'm about 15, just trapped in the body of a 70 year old woman! Age doesn't matter--attitude does.

 

[Beth_B]

I am a young 58.

Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway.

Oh and @CrazyConure this isn't hopefully coming across as condescending and I don't mean it that way at all...but your posts are mature and sensible and well-written.

Now get offa my lawn you whippersnapper.

 

[CrazyConure]

Awww. Thank you @Beth_B

 

[MaryMary]

Wow, CrazyConure, really?!

I'll be 49 next month.

Yes, I agree with @Beth_B, your "voice" is mature and sensible. Good on you for getting into gardening so early!


I'll take two boxes of the Thin Mints, and THEN ... get off my lawn!!

Never would have realised you are so young! Great to hear that you caught the gardening 'bug' at such a young age

I'm 32

I suspect that most of us had to wait until the later years to have time for a garden( I'm 64). Kids and jobs took up too much time before....

Yeah that's true. No kids here, so I've got some time for gardening!

No kids here either, but had to wait until I bought a property to garden in. moved there 27 years ago, and started right away. My age, after 28 I stopped counting. LOL.

It is wonderful you are starting young, my husband (68) and I (65) retired last year so we finally have the time to garden and learning new things everyday. ( the majority of it right here)

 

[Beth_B]

No kids here either but I've always worked a lot of hours especially in summer...and I planted my first large vegetable garden in my mid-20s, and have had one most years since.

The fact I work a lot probably explains why my garden tends to get a bit messy and weedy though!

Hey there! I'm also 17 turning 18, though I turn 18 in November. You're never too young to enjoy gardening!

 

[zigs]

I'm 53

Been growing veg since I was 7, still mess it up

You youngens wiil be full of gardening knowledge starting so young. Good on you both. I'm 65 and started gardening in my late 50s. It's a great pursuit. Out in the sun and fresh air today. Great stuff
