Hi Mand,

I'm 53, started in 1968. I also grow, as you do, not with a lot of tonnage or flashy name brands, but for personal use and the satisfaction of working with the plants. Started growing in '85.

I think it seems like the population here is so young because, well, mostly they are, and they also tend to be more vocal than us mature types, like many of us were at that age.
