This is just a fair warning to gardeners that there MAY be people out there that have an ax to grind or that may want to look like a champion of the people by doing things like this.

There are some dreadful people out there.

There are also a lot of people who have no understanding of what gardening involves. I'm told schools no longer do the 'seed in a cup' lesson, so people can go through school and have no idea how to grow a seed. I know a number of people who find my growing from seeds heroic, and who chuckle at the way I buy marked-down, bedraggled plants that I know I can bring back from near-croaking.

[who knows what evil?]

LOL!!! I take MUCH abuse from people who laugh at how I will baby a tomato plant that is essentially a stem with a leaf sticking up about half way up. A couple of years ago, I had a Lemon Drop plant in an Earth Box that was being prepped for ‘last rites’. My wife was asking why I wouldn’t pull the plant, as space in an Earth Box is real premium. It had a very tiny leaf sticking up from the stem stump, BUT it was a deep rich green, indicating to be that it was getting food. It wound up producing loads of beautiful yellow cherries...one of the last to be pulled at season’s end. Never say die.
