Martha Stewart wants millennials to just grow a tomato plant, please
Struggling under the weight of student loan debt? Martha Stewart wants you to grab some tomato seedlings and head out to that terrace.
In a new interview with Luxury Listings, Stewart, whose company is ostensibly courting millennials, expresses her confusion about the mystical demographic. "But who are millennials?" she says. "Now we are finding out they are living with their parents."
Harsh, Martha.

"They don’t have the initiative to go out and find a little apartment and grow a tomato plant on the terrace,” she continues.
While this might seem a little reductive, don't worry. We're convinced Stewart actually loves millennials. In fact, she is an avid hoverboard user, which means she's more in touch with younger folks than she wants us to believe.

She is also a noted Justin Bieber fan. Do we think Justin Bieber, a millennial, has ever grown a tomato plant? Sadly, it is unlikely. We ask Martha Stewart, author of the upcoming book Vegetables (really), to extend that same kindness to the rest of us.
Martha Stewart, we will make you a deal. Pay off our student loans, and we will plant all the tomatoes you desire.
