    Just wondered what the average age of us gardeners on GC was, traditionally it's the "older" person that enjoys gardening; I wonder if that's the case?

    I'll start with 53...

    Well, I think I might be the oldest GC member as I was 73 last month.
    I have been supervising my husband's gardening for over 50 years. :D
    Anyone beat that?

    I got interested in gardening since I moved into this house and that was nearly 17 years ago so for me it was at 36.

    It really came about because I was waiting for my husband to tackle the jungle that it was then and he showed no interest or inclination so I got out there and have been hooked ever since ;)

    Dag - really enjoyed reading the 'Care to Declare' postings again!
    Thanks for reminding us [​IMG]

    And Eleagnus I think Rosietu might just beat us by a year or so!
    Read Dag's link above.
