From the article: Gardening Basics
I knew I was a gardener when i noticed my garden was tidier than my home. And I can usually spot other gardeners by their strategic scratches and bruises. What cinches it for you? Is it the finger nails? The scratched shins? The way your car just pulls over when it sees a nursery? What Gives it Away?
Tomato Heaven
- You compulsively purchase six more types of tomato seeds than you have room for in your garden. When they sprout, you lean over and smell that amazing tomato scent and think, "THIS is what spring smells like. Wonderful!"

- You encounter a black and yellow garden spider as long as your pinkie and you weed around her to leave her web intact.

Too many to list...
- I can relate to almost all of these but can really relate to and love the "pine needles fall out of my cloths...", "when buying a car, considering if plants will fit..I include bushes and an occasional tree..", "get up at night in a storm to cover the plants...", and many more. Love this site.

You Know You're a Gardener...
- when green things begin to grow. The little twigs start to come slowly out of the ground, then another and another. And each day you see something different coming up or starting to grow. But when you get your first flower or tomato, then you know you have made it - You are a Gardener.

Who Needs Clothes?
- When you tumble out of bed to take the dogs out and grab the clippers to start dead heading in your jammies. Next thing you know you are out there watering, potting, etc. and your DH is wondering where you are when the dogs are at the door anxious to come in.

You Know You're a Gardener When...
- Your idea of going out is visiting the garden section of Lowes. You tell your doctor's office that you don't trust them because their plants are dying. I have a tarp in the back of my FJ Cruiser for plants, dirt, and tools.

you know you are a gardener when
- you run out of space in the kitchen window with tomatoes ripening and your wife won't let you put them in the bedroom window. I also keep pictures on my cell phone of my garden. One is my wallpaper on my pc.
