Re: MTVictory Garden

Title: Re: MTVictory Garden
   I have no problem with young people in the industry.  I know several that started as young as 12 or 13 and are fantastic gardeners and even researchers.  One guy is only in his 20's and has been breeding rice, among a lot of other unusual plants, for a good ten years or more.
   My objection was the ad for people based solely on age and attractiveness.   I had hoped that the business of putting in someone who is attractive but doesn't know a turnip from a tulip from tansy, just to read someone else's words, wouldn't get into gardening programs.   Naive, I know.

Listen up, guys (and gals). It was only a matter of time before our
youth-obsessed culture spilled into gardening. Everybody wants to reach the
hot youth market. There's a whole wave of young'uns taking up residence in
our newsroom as the sluggish newspaper industry attempts to capture a market
more in tune with TV and e-zines. And guess what? These kids have some great
ideas and fresh approaches. You don't have to be an oldster to be passionate
about something, or to know quite a bit about it.
