Do you check your weather app more than your bank account? Do you feel a surge of rage when a squirrel looks at your tomatoes? If you’ve ever felt judged for staring at garden soil for hours... I have good news: You aren't losing your mind. You just have "The Gardening Condition." In this video, we’re running a full diagnostic check. We'll cover the 8 clinical symptoms that every true gardener experiences—from the dopamine hit of the seed catalog to the inevitable mid-summer meltdown.

The Adam was the first gardener!!!

Genesis 2:5 (KJV) states: “And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.”.

This was at minimum a thousand years after Genesis 1:26 and at maximum two thousand years after the 6th day creation... Some people were not created to be anything more than ‘hunter gathers’’’ Moses penned ... don't like it take it up with Moses... Oh and more than that the ‘ground’ was cursed to Cain after he killed his brother ... Learn the WORD of God!!!!

Is it just me or was growing my own dental floss supposed to be a joke?

Good movie much closer to the truth than just a movie.

Democrats tilt head like a dog does.

Talking of gardening, years ago I had a sweet corn patch and this hybrid rabbit would show up and want to eat my young corn plants...

If you to on TikTok “Gardening” has an entirely different meaning.

I started growing things while living in Alabama because I could not get good jalapenos there. On a trip to Louisiana, I picked up some pepper plants and went to town. Later when my kids were small, I planted carrots and celery. Kid snacks.

Now, I cover about a third of my back yard with containers with all kinds of vegetables.

Should be warm enough to plant in a couple of weeks.

I read ‘Being There’ in High School and it is still a favorite. The movie was OK...but I always like books over movies. ;)
