You are obviously the only person who understands. Everyone else suggests that I need to get out more. I haven’t even received any seed catalog stimulant. (Admittedly, have been tempted by those pink blueberry ads in the ladies’ magazines but we want to fiddle around with seed, first.)

I understand. I still do standing ovations and go get a beer out of the fridge when something on the sunshelf finally peeks out from beneath the dirt.

Which can be a little awkward at 5:30 in the morning when I do my morning checks and watering. But what the heck, a plant is a plant, and it deserves a celebration. ;)

LOL. Maybe that is because I almost hibernate every winter till the temps are reliably above 60 (closer to 75 is better) every day. LOL

I don’t go to the store, don’t go out to eat, nada. I just go to the doctor’s if I feel like I have one foot in the grave, and avoid everything else I can.

However, I really think I would be just as excited if I only had a green house. A garden room would be even better with some fancy french doors to use when walking out of the house into the indoor garden. Well, I can dream- can’t I???

I relate also to the excitement! Last year was much the same for my darlin and me! We started a few seeds last year and had the biggest kick watching them grow during the season.

The mammoth sunflowers were very entertaining. I’d never seen any up close before and they were amazing. I’d just look at them and become unreasonably happy.
