You know now that a lot of the growers on here who have been growing since
before you were even born are going to want to kill you now, right? Heh heh!
Well, for me, I am 97 years young. People always think I am younger for some
reason. Go figure. No actually, I got you beat for youngest on the list by
about 9 years or so. Narek had me beat when he was on here (or IS he still on?
Hmm....). So I guess you, me, and Narek hold the record for the "youngins" on
here. Of course I really have no idea how old everyone else is, but I am
assuming most are at least over 35 or so. I suppose of one of us grew the next
world record, everyone would want to beat us up. Go figure!
