    Speaking as one 14 year old to another, well, mentally anyway, why do you want to know, Ryan:scratch::D

    Then dear young one of 14 let me share with you something that will carry you through life as a man. Two questions never to ask a women:
    1. How old are you and 2. Are they real, referring to diamond sparkles around neck or wrist/finger. Following these two rules you will go far.

      Most of us keep our ages hidden to avoid identity theft Ryan.

      Its fantastic that you are gardening at 14, I started at about 7 with radishes & beetroot but am still learning and aproaching 50:DOH:

      There is always something new to learn & then all the stuff that you've forgotten too:D

      Welcome to Zigs World:thumbsup:

          Ryan, if you really are 14, then I think it is safe to say you are the youngest gardener on here. Well done you and welcome to the elite.:thumbsup: I really am 60.:yess:

            You seem like a nice chap :thumbsup: and at 14 into gardening you are not the image of 14 year old kids we see on the tele these days. I spent a lot of time with my dad in his alotment and learned soooooooooooo much. 49 and going strong ( Mentally if not physically) :D. Rejoice in your youth.

            Welcome Ryan! When you like to garden age doesn't matter except that the younger you are when you start the more time you have to learn, and you NEVER stop learning! My brain tells be I'm about 25 or so but my body is pushin 50 now. The rest of these people are just plain crazy so just enjoy it!!
