You know you can only think about Gardening when.................

[rary]

when you need new summer tops and part of the decision includes if it's going to be practical to garden in when it's old!

Reading this post again . Are you supposed to wait till the clothes are old before doing work in the garden with them now I am beginning to understand why she cracks up as often, well one of the reasons

[veggiechicken]

when the news says "Venus out as seeds begin to fall" and you wonder whether its like Moon planting and what you should be sowing too!

[WinningStudio]

When you buy 4 plants because they are pretty and yellow stickered and then wonder where the ell you’re going to put them in your micro Eden.

I do this all the time, i like to think i am saving a plant but i really need a bigger garden

[veggiechicken]

When someone called Raab becomes Brexit Secretary and all you can think of is 60 day Broccoli and should I be sowing it now.

[Greenleaves]

When your search all the weather sites hoping for rain

... when you enter a competition to tweet a love story and automatically make the protagonists plot holders.

... when you 'haven't got time' to iron, but cheerfully get up at 5am to weed.

I identify with all of these! Particularly muck envy! I also have mulch envy....

Zelenina, I love your story!

[veggiechicken]

....when you dream that someone asks you the name of a plant in a neighbour's garden..................and you answer "Monica"

They looks a bit confused and repeat "Monica?"

and you say "Yes, its Monica Japonica".

Honestly, that was my dream a couple of nights ago.

When you consider family, friends and neighbours from the P.O.V. of whether you could call in some favours to get a trailer load of manure delivered this Autumn :-)

[Jay-ell]

You have a week off work and wonder how much manure you can haul during it.

When you dream about french beans as I did last night.....

[chillithyme]

when you are driving and have to stop at each garden centre and nursery as you are passing by, via an added 10 to 20 mile shortcut

[muck lover]

... when out for a country walk you stop and admire a pile of stable muck.

Oh I wish you had taken a photo!!

[happyhumph]

There's a lovely pile of cow muck I go past a few times a week and I keep wondering how I'd find out who it belongs to.....

I keep an old bin bag in the back of my car, and if I'm driving home on the lanes round here and pass some horse manure in the road, I stop and reclaim it ;-)

When OH suggests a weekend trip to the theatre, and my first reaction was that I could get 3 truckloads of manure delivered for that price!
