    #29. you go round the offices at work picking anything compostable out of the bins

    # 30. your OH won't take you to Tesco's anymore because you exclaim loudly "50p for one sweetcorn? Put it back!"

    #31. OH won't take you to Poundshops because you come back with forty quid of useful rubbish for the shed/allotment

    #32 you eat veg that you'd send back in a restaurant, because you grew it, so you're darn well going to eat it.

      #30 Your shed's tidier than your living room.
      #31 Your family look decidedly unimpressed when you ask for big sacks of compost for Christmas. (Especially when you DO want them wrapped in Chrismas paper with a bow on!)

                #39. Your OH asks what you want for your birthday (expecting "perfume", "necklace") and you ask for tomato plants and growbags.
                #40. You scour "Freecycle" for free greenhouses/sheds etc and spend three days in searing heat taking it down and transporting it, and three days in pouring rain re-mantling it.

                                You no longer see manure as yucky thing but gold dust and you even enjoy the smell ( or at least don't mind about it ).

                                The gardening things is somehow your most often dreams.

                                You no longer has phobic to worms and start to take them as your friend...
