Gardening should be challenging, relaxing and fun. Gardening is not worth your effort and time if you're not willing to be challenged and learn from it. Renegade Gardeners are cautious and wise when perusing the plethora of products placed on shelves by the commercial gardening industry. Gardening is not always easy. You want an easy hobby, try line dancing.
Irreverence is essential.
We're playing in the dirt, for heaven's sake. Renegade Gardeners will learn the Latin names of the plants they grow. This has nothing to do with opportunities to be snooty, which do happen to arise from time to time. Only the Latin name identifies exactly the plant your neighbor grows, and you wish to buy. Renegade Gardeners come to realize that lawns are essentially a dumb idea.
