You know your an obsessive gardener when ...

Pixiechic

You can no longer use the front door and porch due to seed trays
All the window sills have trays on with some water dripping down wall too
Anything in the house or garden that looks remotely pot like has been utilised
I now look forward to gardening hour on radio4, I never thought I would do that :eek:
I have developed a garden centre obsession and actively encourage OH's interest in DIY stores just so we can go more :j
I too stare in other peoples gardens and then worry that they think I'm gauping in and have to scurry past

I also worry about my seeds and fret about having not yet cleared out the coldframe, must do it tomorrow.

When you are in your garden as I was today, in the rain, in tears (cross my heart I was crying), as you cut back all the destroyed in the bliddy freezing winter on your much loved and nurtured Ceanothus. Bought as a reduced reject from B&Q 4 years ago for £1 planted, loved and admired it grew from about 14 inches to 8ft of blue blossoming twice a year glory. I am heartbroken. Please gardening fairy, sprinkle some love on my darling Ceanothus.

Hello all

When my neighbour caught me talking to my seedlings today as I watered them, stroking the water off their leaves and calling them my babies! (Need to get out more - in the garden!) :rotfl:

EDIT: oh, and all of the things already mentioned, of course. Er, anyone do the searching for slugs hunt by torchlight in the greenhouse thing? Knew the damn thing was hiding in there somewhere....

Grebe: Poor Grebe. Sprinkles gardening fairy dust on Ceanothus and crosses fingers. :A

An obsessive gardener would put it on (one of) their compost heaps. Or use it for mulch. Or raised bed filler. Or in wildlife piles. Or..
