Do You Look / Act Like A Gardener?

[Mr Gardener]

When I was little Gardeners were old farts with a penchant for boring conversations.

Now I've grown up a bit I realise that the face of Gardening is changing, now it's a world full of young, attractive and incredibly interesting people... like me!

Or is it...? Have I become the old fart I so often looked down my nose at?

To the youth of today, do I look like a Gardener? Do YOU look like a Gardener? Are we as a breed still immediately recognisable or do we now generally walk amongst them unseen?

I like to wear flowery shirts at work, I also like to talk about Gardening with my work colleagues; however other than that I'd like to think I come across as a well balance individual, rather than someone who has sleepless nights about seedlings not growing!

How about you? Have you turned into a caricature gardener?

If I'm at the allotment I tend to look like a scarecrow.

[Snadger]

Yes!

Family and friends probably think I'm a boring bar steward especially when I rant on about chickens and have windowsills full of pots of seedlings!

Not that when they are after free eggs or veggies though!

[Mr Gardener]

I can almost see my Dad wanting to disown me... he's reached his 'golden years' and started DJing...! One of the reasons I've turned to GYO is that he's frittering my inheritance away on records and DJ Equipment so I have to save as many pennies now as I can!

Do I look like a Gardener? Well, I AM a Gardener, so I must do! Nutter!

Young, attractive and incredibly interesting? Why, thank you Mr G Most of my colleagues haven't a clue that I grow my own and are very surprised if they do find out.

[Mikey]

I tell everyone who will listen about GYO, and foraging, most of my friends from childhood haven't a clue about the subject but ask random questions now and again.

Most of my friends these days are older and tend to wear wellies a lot, so I guess I'm one of them.

I did rave the other day when I got a tilley hat for my birthday, does that make me old.

Flo, you're only as old as the woman that you feel, sadly Our Gerts the same age as me so I dont get to feel any younger!

The positivity I face when people find out always surprises me, I think there are a large number of people who would love to grow fruit and veg but can't for any number of reasons.

I always end up with far more seeds than I can handle so give them away at work, I've got people growing in every nook of their gardens!

I dont know what a Tilley hat is, so that makes one of us old...

I've no idea what a caricature gardener looks like but if they always wear jeans, have mud on their boots and enough soil under their nails to grow potatoes, I'm one

My dear auld Dad used to say "Go get those ears washed............you could grow tatties in em"
I was 23 years old at the time!

Hum, these days I tuck my trousers into my socks - so I can put my boots on easier Then I can't be bothered to pull them out when I take my boots off!
