You know you're addicted to gardening when...

You get home from walking the dog in torrential rain and you spot a plant that would be happier growing somewhere else in your garden.
So you think, " What the hell, I'm already soaked through"...!!!

Are you daft about plants like me?

Not quite like you no, I do the buying and a bit of the planning, but I'm a fair weather gardener, if it's raining I'm in side getting dry after walking the dogs.

I think it's the best time to change your garden around in the rain, as then you can tell which is getting the water.. Also you don't have to water them in as there already wet

I tend to look out of the window a lot when it's raining, wishing I could get out there to do some work but I also do that when it's not raining.

I did it this morning to remove some tin foil plates I use to keep the squirrel off the potted tulip bulbs. It was drizzling...heaven knows what the neighbours think as I was just out of the shower with a towel on my head and in my dressing gown

I went out in my dressing gown the other day to feed the birds
My semi tame peasant flew off squawking like a banshee.
I am not that bad surely ?

I do that ... it's amazing just how slow the grass can grow when you're sat watching it. Never needs cutting does it.
