RE: ltr to the editor

"Girly?"  You've got to be kidding.  Real gardeners know that you can't be
"prissy" and garden too.  Dirt and sweat are involved as well as aching
muscles (as most of us will attest to after a long winter's garden clean-up
workout.}  :>D  Was the writer a gardener or just assigned to do a gardening
feature?

The Living section of our local newspaper today had an article about a
young man who has opened his own greenhouse and has done so well that he
is expanding.  I have to ask you folks, what do you think of the opening
sentence? "A long-lived stereotype identifying plant and flower gardening
as girly gets dirt in its face when Ryan Baker steps onto the
horticulture scene." Kitty
