National Gardening Week?
Didn't know that we celebrate National Gardening Week, but it appears we are.

A special note in the article makes me wonder though:
"Dr. Tran says that for geriatric patients, gardening is highly recommended."
At what age does one become "geriatric"? It seems to me that 80 is too young to be called geriatric....but, maybe next year....

Oh, you have to be geriactric to garden. Well, there's my problem!
All those young and hale people should just stick to their regular routines of extreme skateboarding, trapeze and base-jumping.
