Introducing the Seasoned Gardener

Been a gardener for a long time? 

You probably have if you consider yourself a "Seasoned Gardener." Many of us are fast approaching the time when we can kick back a little and enjoy things such as gardening and garden related activities more as time allows.  I've noticed recently though that what used to be easy and fun has become more of a job and a little more painful as I get more "Seasoned" myself. 

Many garden product manufacturers have acknowledged the fact that American gardeners are aging, and are producing products to address the special needs of those of us with a variety of age related needs, aches and pains, and less strength to do the things we enjoy so much. 

My goal here is to take what I know and add it to what YOU know to create a blog where Seasoned Gardeners can share ideas and inspiration.  We all have things that we can add to the mix of experience and information for all of us. 

The gentleman in the illustration for this blog is my great-grandfather who, although he lived near Newark, New Jersey in the late 1800's was an avid gardener and yard care expert.  He is among those from whom I inherited my "Gardening Gene."

Please post often and enjoy the conversation.

How right you are! The gardener's heart increases with "seasoning; however, the body does lose some of its...verve. Am looking forward to this camraderie from the comfortable seat. Speaking of comfort, the ReelSmart Hose line looks like a winner. I'll be shopping for one.
