| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). | Topic: Garden clutter for seniors. Letting go of perennials or shrubs that are too hard to maintain as we age. Yes they are pretty, and perhaps have some sentimental value, but a tidy, sparse yard is easier to take care of. |
| Future topics | oops, put my topic earlier |
