- When you wear nothing but tattered tshirts and pants that are too large or small and are safety pinned together in all the strategic places because you'd rather dig and weed than shop. And when your daughter compliments you for "looking nice" because you're wearing clothing without holes, smudges, or safety pins.

You know you are a gardener when
- You get up at dawn when you are not feeling well because your garden needs watering. You want to cry when some of your tomato starts die because the neighbors cat knocked over the starting "green house". You worry about not filling every space in your vegatable garden. When you survey your peas and transplants every morning, counting to make sure everyone made it through the night. When relaxing is researching better ways to grow things and you light up like a christmas tree when someone starts talking about gardening. Also when you want every fruiting plant you can find that will grow in your yard and your husband feels obligated to help.
