Is there a difference between a Farmer and a Gardener?

By Gloria Whyte A farmer by definition is a person who cultivates the land. A gardener by definition is a person who cultivates seedlings and their offspring for growth and future transplantation. To cultivate means the preparation process of working the land/soil in order to raise crops/plants. So why do I care about a farmer or a gardener? Sounds as though the farmer and the gardener do the same thing, they both cultivate. But believe me there is a difference and it is a big one, the difference between the farmer and the gardener is what they cultivate, how they cultivate and what happens to what is cultivated. Let us start with what they cultivate. Are you a crop or a plant? Is the person giving you guidance a farmer or a gardener?

Plants are raised to be transplanted into pots, moving from
