my son took lessons and he seemed to have fun but after 6 months he had learned no theory and developed poor technique. i have a cat and i love when she falls asleep on my legs. especially your answers to some (or all) of these questions. heaven knows what he said; but we may be allowed to guess at it. my wildflower garden just gets mowed off in the fall, sprinkled with the seed heads, a little mulch thrown on and its good to go for next year. the label plans to repeat history.
