Only a gardener would - -

[hoodat]

There are quite a few things about we gardeners that make non gardeners wonder if we're in our right minds. Only a gardener would -

Rejoice if a dump truck pulled up and emptied a big load of horse manure in the driveway.

Apologize to a worm if we cut it in half with a shovel.

Go around collecting dead plants and pile them into a big pile, then do everything we can think of to make it get nice and rotten.

Crawl around on our hands and knees looking at the bottoms of leaves to see if something needs squishing.

Have three categories for bugs; good bugs, bad bugs and just bugs.

Add your own if you can think of any.

Only a gardener would cry if they lost one of their favorite plants to bugs/weather/inadvertent foot placement/drowning or drought...not that i'm admitting to crying over my plants!!
