Signs of a Gardener Gallivanter

You know you are a Garden Gallivanter when:

1. You have dirt under your nails 85% of the time.(Ladies, manicures can go a long way).

2. When you do laundry and shake your pants to straighten them out for the wash, dirt magically appears and snows onto your floor. 

3. You're always trying to identify plants, yes, even the weeds of your school neighborhood sidewalk as you waltz your way to work. 

4. You tuck yourself in at night along with a gardening or agriculturally-related book to read before going to bed..and dream of getting those wildflowers from your book into your garden. 

5. You spend so much of your time in the garden, working, researching, planning for the garden and your students that you neglect to spend time writing on your blog...
