You Know You’re a Gardener When...”
Tuesday April 28, 2009
I got my first gash across my shin this season, when I tripped over a woody, pruned Buddleia. After I finished chastising myself, I chalked it up to being a gardener. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an active gardener without an assortment of scratches and bruises. And I thought it was our snappy fashion sense that gave us away.
A few years ago we had a "You Know You’re a Gardener When..." thread in the Forum and it was as funny as it was true. My response was ..."when your garden is tidier than your home". What are some dead giveaways for you? The tools in the back of the car? The box in the trunk? The dirt under the nails? Or is it more subtle? You Know You’re a Gardener When...?
