You know you're an obsessive gardener when... 2016

I may try that next time, instead of keeping the whole plant for myself and buying the other person something else ...

 

When you take off your combats with multiple pockets and find pockets full of string, cutters, plant labels and even a pocket full of earth before emptying carefully for washing machine.

 

Dude you got it bad

 

When you wake up @ 5am with your empty plant trays piled up nice and tidy in the Garden Hut and an empty Brandy Bottle next to the deck chair that you slept in ALL NIGHT..

 

When you fall in the garden and cut your leg on a broken flower pot and your kind neighbour drives you to A&E to have stitches in the wound ... but you feel annoyed after returning home because your kind neighbour's wife has cleared the broken bits of pot away and thrown them in the bin, when you could have used them for drainage in tubs ...
and then you wonder how you can secretly rummage through their bin to retrieve them ...

 

When you complete your Autumn kitchen cupboard cleaning and reshuffle everything because ...


... there is one drawer which is the perfect "dark, cool place" for storing your gladioli bulbs and seed pods ready for next Spring

Speedy healing vibes winging their way to you

 

Thank you @"M"

 

When you're watching a Poirot film, and half way through it you exclaim what beautiful Rhododendrons there are growing in the background of the scene ...
and later on you exclaim what lovely Delphiniums there are in a vase on the set ...
and even later on still, Poirot walks through a garden, and you wonder what variety that Rose in the background is ...

 

You've just spent all afternoon digging and shifting barrowloads of soil - it's getting dark, it's starting to rain and you're getting quite damp.
But you simply can't bring yourself to put those tools away dirty, so you carefully clean them all before hanging them up in the shed and get even wetter in the process.

 

When you've got 4 months of sub zero temps, you set up inside grow areas to carry on gardening..

 

This speaks for itself really....
