We actually talk about the same things, and I'm not that old 43, but I love and respect my elders, beautiful thing the older folks , love them and their stories, I'd rather listen to them any day than watch tv or play on my phone. They are a rare dying breed, so much they have been through and witnessed, decades of change, decades of wisdom and knowledge .
Lol, old folks home thread isn't like that, just a bunch of us talking about everyday life and gardening and chickens, and we all aren't super old lol. But I do love old people.
My FIL is 81, MIL much younger, my dads age 65ish. He's my go to guy for gardening, knows everything . And he has the most beautiful gardens with a S. Grows the darn best onions I've ever seen. I thought mine was doing good till I was just up to his house the other day and saw his.... Monsters!!!! What the heck is he doing right and I'm doing wrong??? He can't grow tomatoes worth a crap though so I give him plenty (we only live a mile from each other) he lives on top of a hill and us in a valley but I don't think its that.
I was telling him I was weeding around some weeds I really liked in my garden and leaving them, never knew what they were before but they were really good yummy and really good for you, couldn't remember the name. Everyone else there laughed and picked on me cause I said I read about them on Facebook Lol. I tried to explain what they looked like and he said "Purslane".... Yeah! That's it! He knew more about it than I did, or anybody else there
