3483604075_e8efc52e95I talk to my plants regularly, especially when first putting them into the ground. But it turns out, they may not be listening to me ’cause I am a guy…
The Royal Horticulture Society across the pond in England, found that “Women gardeners’ voices speed up growth of tomato plants much more than men’s.”
“In an experiment run over a month, they found that tomato plants grew up to two inches taller if they were serenaded by the dulcet tones of a female rather than a male.”
