The replies of Pansyface and Nut sound rather too familiar! - I've just planted out 36 'spare' primroses in 3" pots which I had shoved in a corner when I ran out of room last year.. Also walking about visually planning (ok, pottering!) too much and finding myself unable to make a decision so ending up doing nothing. Quite relaxing though!
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Not cleaning my tools after every use .....and not cleaning pots before I re-use them. But I have the same aversion to cleaning inside the house too....so is that ok?
Never being satisfied, I constantly want to change things, I wish I could sit on the patio with a nice cup of tea and know that the garden is exactly as I want it. I'm not ruthless enough either with plants, I can't bear to throw living things away - if I don't want it, I have to find it a new home. Like Chicky, I could be a little more diligent in the pot cleaning department - I just never seem to have the time.
I've been lurking on the forum for a while, but this thread just made me register! I mean, it's not just me who keeps buying plants and seeds that I have no space for? Might I be - gasp - normal? I've taken on half an allotment this autumn (I don't have a garden) and I can't even fit next year's crops on the plan I've been drawing up.
Oh dear, I see I'm going down that road already: I've been eyeing the half-allotment next to mine - someone has been renting it but not cultivating it and it's so tempting! Are you saying, Edd, that there is a greenhouse in my future? Perhaps it's my duty to the community to take that other allotment over as well and get rid of the weeds? I'd be doing everyone a favour, right?
Thank you, jo47! You're right, of course, why else it'd be there? And I'm not and addict, I can give it up any time I want! Now to see if the current renters will want to give up their lease...

Spending more time 'considering' and planning rather than doing...
I do clean pots...sometimes. Depends what's been in them and for how long
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Sorry Aster.
I don't think any of us are normal

Well, I gathered as much, but didn't want to say it.
I just immediately felt at home here!
