Recognise these symptoms?

Never notice people's houses, only their gardens.

Always make a bee-line for garden stalls at markets and car boots.

There's ALWAYS room for just one more plant somewhere in their garden.

Retail therapy doesn't involve clothes.

Being poor never stops them buying plants.

Other people look blank and bored when they talk animatedly and excitedly about new leaf growth when Spring arrives.

Dirty fingernails.

Spending more time outside than inside.

Owning every gardening book available but still a sucker for one more.

Showing off their garden to anyone who happens to compliment their work.

Looking forward to November for a rest, then itching to be at it again come March.


If you recognise the above symptoms then its terminal I am afraid you are or know a gardener.............

nope sorry....

though the dirty finger nails and so on ring a bell,

but its normaly from the horses, or lambs or cows,

Re the above./ I guess its a big deal if we get a really good summer and the Hay is great...

I have all those symptoms hun......then from garden talk it goes to allotment. Clothes buying....... whats thats.

This morning I got all excited that Netto are selling fruit bushes

What can you say to that, LOL!!

How about, "what time do they shut?"

Yes, another gardener here

I think it's terminal here too.
I got rid of all my books..... well who needs them with the internet?

Tinternet is no substitute to a good browse of a book and so now I am having to replace them all
