You Know You've Been Gardening Too Long When...

1.  The squirrels can't tell you from any other nut they find in the yard.

2.  10-10-10 is more appealing than 36-26-36!!

3. You show everyone pictures of your garden instead of your grandkids!

4. You start calling your wife "Daisy," your kids "sprouts," the dog's new puppies

"seedlings" and your neighbor, "the weed next door."

Opal L., Madera CA

5. Your best buds are all on flower stalks!

6. You remember to feed your roses but forget to feed your family.

Liz S., Newton NJ

7. You're more concerned about tomatoes than your sex life.

Susan V.

8. You spend more time picking the right shrub than you do picking your husband's

anniversary gift.

9. You know you've spent too many hours gardening when your hedges start

resembling Disney characters.

Jenean V., Tampa, Florida

10. Oops, there is no such thing as spending too much time gardening. The

sun must have temporarily gotten to me to even begin to think such a thing!
