1)2)You can't throw away any pot/container/tin anymore because you can visualise growing something in it so have bags of pots & even buy things especially for the pots.

Everyone HAS TOO, NOT needs but HAS TOO go to sainsuries and buy a joint of beef (sainsburies finest) that comes in a maroon red plastic tub that has a see through clear lid on top. The beef is shrink wrapped so take that out and cut it out. Then YEEE HAAAA you have a free propogator with clear lid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is not the only reason I brought that beef last week ... Honest guv!

When even as a smoker you spend your last £6 on two raspberry canes rather than a packet of marlboros!!

Oh and you spend more time in your wellies than any other footwear and have no shame in tying on one of those plastic headscarves Grandma used to wear and donning a torch so you can go check your seeds before you go to bed (and I am under 25!)

Your 2 year old now puts yoghurt pots in the sink for washing rather than in the bin!
Sunday lunch has to wait or hubby has to takeover cause your potting up
Your kitchen floor needs cleaning more often cause of muddy boots, and paws
You scowel at the cats in the neighbourhood, cause they are the ones using your garden as there toilet.
You move everything from your window ledge, so you can make way for your seedlings.
Neighbours think you've got the tops of lemonade bottles as ornaments!

When you get caught rummaging around neighbours recycling bins cause you have run out of kitchen roll/toilet roll tubes and they might have thrown some out
along with 2 ice cream tubs, 4 plastic milk bottles, 4 large yogurt pots that I was seen taking away at lunchtime by 2 neighbours who thought I had fallen on really hard times today,but who have now agreed to save bits for me:D

when you name EVERY veggie in the garden! lol

Agree with practically all of the above but especially gardening in the dark... that point when it's gone way beyond dusk and you're still fossicking about and even the smell of a roast meal is not quite enough to lure you back in. (Meal prepared by OH who is so desperate to eat he's got on with it because your five minutes has stretched to one and half hours.)
