You know you're a Gardener if................

...when your neighbours recognize you in pyjamas and wellies and don't automatically assume your house must be on fire.

When you go to that big allotment in the sky you want cremated and put on the compost heap to keep nutrients onsite.

Pffft! I want a burial raised bed... ;-)

How about a viking shed burial?

Forget the cremation and just fertilise a raised bed. It used to be traditional to bury a dead donkey under a newly planted grapevine. To be still growing food after departing would be fab.

When it comes to ingrained dirt on the hands and grubby knees I'm past the age where I'm bothered what others think. In Winter I try not to look in the mirror before I go to the allotment as I must bear some resemblance to a scarecrow. I have been slightly embarrassed once to turn up to an appointment and someone point out I had half a tomato plant in the back of my hair.
I know I have told my sister I want my ashes burying and a tree planting on top.
