Do You Talk to your Plants?

Jul 1, 2009

If you're a woman, then you should be. The Royal Horticulture Society in the UK conducted a month-long study and found that women's voices caused plants to grow up to 2 inches taller than those that heard a man's. According to the study, "some men were so bad that their plants actually grew less than a plant that was left completely alone." The RHK doesn't know why this is the case. What's your theory? (Thanks to Frances Anderton for passing along the story.)
