Am I Addicted.

[Potstubsdustbins]

If I tell you the symptoms can you help with the diagnosis?

I wake in the morning, shower, dress and go for a walk round the garden to drink my tea.

I come in, read the paper and before going to work have a quick look round the garden.

I come home for lunch and eat my sandwich whilst walking round the garden.

I come home at tea time and before I eat I talk a walk round the garden.

I have my tea and go to work in the garden.

When darkness falls I come to the office to visit the vine, later I shower and before I go to bed I take a walk round the garden just to make sure its still there.

Do I have a problem? Is it serious please help.

Colin.

You have a problem at no point do you check the GH/blowaway/stayput to see how the seedlings are progressing

[singleseeder]

Sound perfectly normal to me.

I just didn't hear you confess to always coming back in with grubby hands due to the compulsion to pull out some weeds/pinch out the tomatoes/rub off a few blackfly.

[lettucegrow!]

All sounds very normal to me, much discribes the pattern to my day! Unless I have a a problem too

I'm the same. I just look at the plants growing in my garden, and before I know it i've been out for 30mins. Left for work almost an hour later than I normally do this morning as I was just gawking at stuff in my greenhouse.

Odd, isn't it?

[Flummery]

You only have a problem when you start going out in your jim-jams and dressing gown. It is possible to garden in slippers, however, you just get through them quicker than most people!

[Comfreyfan]

No problem - all perfectly normal, I wondered what was happening to my slippers

Recently had a week in hospital, right in the middle of the asparagus season, I was more worried about my seedlings than the brain surgery!

First stop when I got home - check out the garden/windowsills/blowaway

I'm sorry to have to say that you are obviously FAR too obsessed with work! You need to spend some quality time in the garden!

[briggsy2011]

thank god i'm not the only one! but i have to admit that i did some planting out in my pj's much to the amusment of my hubby.

Yes i do walk round my garden before and after work. When its raining i find myself staring out of the window wanting to go out to play!

just counting down the days till my greenhouse gets put up!

[Potstubsdustbins]

Thankyou for all your supportive replies,

I had visions of being taken away by those chaps in white coats

Now it turns out I am normal, well nearly

Had to stop myself from starting to turn my compost bin in my jammies the other day....

[Florence Fennel]

All perfectly normal and completely acceptable behaviour Colin.
