    Came accross this on the net and thought it was cute.

    You Know you're A Master Gardener When:

    10. You rejoice in rain...even after 10 straight days of it.

    9. You have pride in how bad your hands look.

    8. You have a decorative compost container on your kitchen counter.

    7. You can give away plants easily, but compost is another thing.

    6. Soil test results actually mean something.

    5. IPM rules!

    4. You'd rather go to a nursery to shop than a clothes store.

    3. You look for gardens open to the public whenever you go on vacation.

    2. Your non-gardening spouse is actually getting involved with your garden endeavors...digging ponds, building bird houses, watering, pruning, turning compost piles, planting...

    1. You are surrounded by terrific people who share your passion!

    No 2 is soooo true!!! My husband really wasn't interested in gardening when I first met him. Now he's as passionate about working with plants and doing DIY in the garden as I am. :D

    I'm in for 3,4 and 7. My hands look bad, but I'm not proud of it. It's just inevitable.

    #10 sure sounds like me this summer! We had no rain here for so long that when it finally rained I was out dancing in it (literally!)
