Let's make this birthday one to remember.

84 years old (Born on August 19, 1940)

Happy Birthday, Roger Cook! May your day be filled with fewer weeds and more laughs than that time you taught us all how to tame an unruly lawn. Your legendary landscaping tips on "Ask This Old House" have turned countless gardening disasters into backyard masterpieces—earning you the unofficial title of America's favorite yard whisperer.

Here's hoping this year brings even greater success (and fewer stubborn tree roots). Thanks for always reminding us that a little dirt under our fingernails is just proof we're doing it right. Keep inspiring green thumbs everywhere—and remember, age only matters if you're mulch!
