You know you can only think about Gardening when.................

When you keep eyeing the hibiscus seed pods in someones front garden when you do the school run.

...........when you look at your computer keyboard and think it looks like a load of raised beds and would it make a good garden layout?

........worse still, you count the keys to see how many beds you'd need to replicate it (its 104 by the way!!)

When OH suggests going away for the weekend.
My first thought, I dont want to go I need to be here to take care of the greenhouse,

Normally at this time of year, I start to develop firewood envy, but I'm bereft of muck... Not a scoopful left. So it'll be muck envy as well. Not sure I can cope with both. I'll go as green as spinach.

My first thought is always 'only if the neighbours are home to keep an eye on the garden'!

haha I can honestly say... I've never thought that haha The mind boggles VC!!

But I am dreaming about blackberries at the moment... and parties at my childhood home where I need to pay for a cleaner, who charges £15 per ashtray and with current team members bursting through the door jubilantly waving a packet of cigarettes around LOL

I just spent my 3 weeks of summer holiday at home in the garden! November is when I am going away... after the 1st frost.

Should be in bed, but reading the forum instead... just have to up date the cuke count

If we go to visit a stately home, SWMBO looks at me and says "You're going to want to visit the vegetable patch aren't you?" (and then I spend my time trying to see into the "off-stage" areas)

Reading this post again . Are you supposed to wait till the clothes are old before doing work in the garden with them now I am beginning to understand why she cracks up as often, well one of the reasons

...........when you think "clothes" is another of rary's typos and he meant "cloches".
My apologies rary, you never make mistakes............................




VC wanders off and uncrosses her fingers.

When you need a new pair of work shoes and end up searching for wellies you can get away with in the office....

[Nicos]

When you can't wait for paying guests to go out so you can go and try and hunt down your one and only apple which happens to be in 'their private garden'

[SarrissUK]

... when you realise that a handbag is a bit knackered, but looks alright from a distance and whether that would be able to provide enough drainage if you put a hydrangea in it (yes, I bought yet another one)

[Vegi potager]

when you are driving and have to stop at each garden centre and nursery as you are passing by, via an added 10 to 20 mile shortcut

Ah yes, darn tricky to load in all the garden centres on the sat nav route without him indoors noticing. Then having to act all innocent " no, I don't know why it is bringing us this way... must be traffic on the normal route!"

Don't we all go to the kitchen gardens first? Surely that is what every visitor does?!!
Him indoors always want to know why I have to have a half hour chat with the gardeners...
