    When you spend an hour taking out a 50kg block of concrete that was situated like an iceberg in one of my borders for the sake of probably no more than a 9 cm pot plant would go into! Felt good though!

    Oh yeh almost forgot and you dig your borders over with a knife!

    You wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat having dreamt that your patch had been submerged following a heavy downfall.

    Then, the very next evening, you have a dream about finding a load of worms in a plastic cup and your first reaction is to go and put them in the compost bin.

    I had a dream about worms the other night too! I was yanking the biggest fattest worm out of the mouth of one of my chickens and trying to force her beak open to get him.

    I love this thread made me laugh anyway.
    How about being 35 wks pregnant and still crawling around the beds weeding and planting? Plus you keep thinking if only this baby hurried up I could get so much more done lol.

    When you enjoy the sound of "crunch" as you step on a snail as it means its not eating your veggies. (like me tonight out with my torch!)
