• There are many tired gardeners but I've seldom met old gardeners. I know many elderly gardeners but the majority are young at heart.

Regardless of how bad past gardens have been, every gardener believes that next year's will be better. It is easy to age when there is nothing to believe in, nothing to hope for, gardeners, however, simply refuse to grow up.
