Health Warning !!!

[domart]

This is my first attempt this year at trying to grow your own and i must say myself and another newbie seem to be completely addicted maybe the site should have a Warning Sign to tell you if entered into the ideas of growing your own that it can consume your life lol !!!!! and that there may be highs as well as the lows that i felt this morning after a sharp frost

Lol I totally agree with you! I'm a total newbie, I started planting spring onions yesterday and had great fun. I had 16 packets of various seeds turn up today and it felt like Christmas <g> My brain is fried though, I keep reading so much stuff and then get confused with what I'm putting where. Definitely another addict here

You wait until you start hording seed catalogues and hiding them from your other half....

Or when you buy new seeds and chuck them in your seed box, preparing yourself to say "Oh, those?? Yes, had them ages...." when someone asks about them....

Wot OWG said!

And...

When you start thinking of bags of Leaves, Grass Mowings or Horse Manure as treasure instead of rubbish.

You'll look like Gollum soon like the rest of us, fretting over leaflings when the weather plays silly beggars.

Be careful

3 years ago i stared with a few herbs in pots on the patio. The year after i found myself digging a small patch of lawn up for carrots , onions and potatoes. Last year i added a coop , 5 hens and dug half the garden over and this year Ive moved to an allotment ...... its a slippery slope but worth it.

be afraid....be very afraid....
then you will start to notice unusual veg varieties and not be satisfied until you have aquired them from somewhere, and will use any underhanded means to do so....

And non-grower-people will think you're weird cos you grow 20 different varieties of chilli/tomato/carrot/bean etc and as far as you can see, that's completely normal!

I remember when my weekends were my own, i did not have obsessions with Wilkinsons and the Aldi and Lidl gardening specials did not cross my mind. I have to warn you though about seed addiction, it takes no prisoners, you have difficulty passing the above shops without just picking up 1 pretty coloured package, and then it is like shoes and bags, when the other half finds the seeds, you say "these old things, i have had them ages waiting for the right time to sow", and when you are out if you find yourself like I do, talking to strangers about your veg plot and then i am afraid there is no hope.

sometimes when I'm in company of non-believers I have to keep my mouth shut for fear of them thinking I'm bonkers.......

[domart]

Glad to see I'm not the only one obsessing

My day job (being a teacher) is becoming an inconvenience!Living for the weekends.[/QUOTE]
Do as I do then, work on gardens with the kids and set them the research task to find out what to plant where! Then you can garden all day at your job, then do more when you get home!!!
I keep threatening to take my pupils home with me as a punishment to dig my garden lol!

And the good news is IT ONLY GETS WORSE!
