Hmmm, don't get me started on the rain, it's preventing me from getting on with one of my projects and adding to my mental anguish... Besides, I would have entitled the thread 'does it ever stop?'
The obsession actually gets worse. Plant and then remove, then plant again. Concerns that a plant could outgrow their space even though you’ve left adequate space Colour schemes that drive you to distraction. Plants that don’t live up to expectations. Buying plants with no place to put them but the urge to buy is greater than sheer common sense not to. Slug hunting at midnight and your wife think you’ve lost your mind.
Cleaning all your gardening tool to an inch of perfection after using them. Not wanting to walk on your boarders and cultivating the soil when you do Apart from that gardening is a great pleasure
I'm fairly new to this gardening lark too, but last year I became totally obsessed, using it as a refuge to escape all sorts of things... come the winter, the dark and dreary days where nothing really changes in the garden, and I thought to myself "... oh, I wonder if the passion has gone...?", but with spring on its way, I'm back to spending every waking hour either in the garden or planning what to do in the garden. So pleased to be back in the zone!
Now my biggest project is convincing OH to let me have more of the lawn for new beds!
I don't think a garden is ever finished. There's always something to change or tweak. There's always a new plant 'I must have' and if I run out of space in the borders I just cut back a bit of the lawn. Do it gradually @Janie B and he'll never notice.
I do watering (quietly) and two am slug hunts when I can't sleep and the neighbours think I'm nuts. I've also done my back in hunching around my beds, hunting: It's the single worse thing for dodgy discs. I've kind of given up on growing things that slugs chomp as it's pointless as nothing interesting, by me, eat slugs.
Please don't let it ever be over, I never want to wake up and think that is it, it is finished. Some days I love my garden, other days I want to rip it all out.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

Yep, all of the above, 'cept, as yet, the midnight slug hunts...
but I don't discount the possibility
