I'd like to know if the following sentence is correct : "when I was a child my mother insisted that I LEARNED the piano" . can I use the verb learn in the present, that is , can I say : " When I was a child my mother insisted that I LEARN (how to play) the piano." 
What is the meaning of the expression PLANT FOOD ? ( i thought it meant a kind of vegetarian food). Plant food is what you feed your plants to keep them healthy, green, and blooming. "I need to buy some plant food for my African violets."
Thank you very much | Cheers,
