We all got alittle Redneck in us even if we didn't know it yet or don't like to admit it.
Don't be ashamed, be Proud !
Don't be ashamed, be Proud !
If you like these here and don't see one that you know, share it in a comment and I will add it to the list ( with or without credit to you for sending it )
You might be Redneck Gardener if:
- while driving around looking at Christmas lights you write down notes of where the nice winter garden designs are so you can see them better in daylight.
- All the containers in your container garden say: must be refridgerated or refidgerate after opening.
- You have more Tupperware outside than you do in your kitchen.
- You spray paint the handles of your garden tools orange so you can find them better.
- You know how many bags of fertilizer, mulch etc. that everyone of you vehicles will hold.
- You use old coolers as planters.
- You have more tires in your garden than on your car.
- You are constantly on the search for new ways to gouge out the grounge under your fingernails.
- you own more pairs of garden gloves than shoes (and still have grounge under your nails!)
- You use an old kiddie pool as a pond liner.
- You use an old kiddie pool as a raised bed frame.
- You use an old kiddie pool to create a bog garden.
- You use old kiddie pools full of sand to mold Hypertufa stepping stones in.
- You post signs in your area at the end of summer asking for everyones old kiddie pools to recylce.
- A plumming mishap is not a disaster, but an oppotunity to turn that old toilet, sink or tub into a planter or water feature.
- You are always on the look out for useful garden goodies curbside on trash day.
- You come home from the dump with more than you took.
- Your husband tells everyone he has seen more of your bent over rear end than the rest of you ever since you planted those pots of seeds last December.
- Your fingernails are never clean except when you wash your hair.
- You hoard compost.
- You dog understands commands like, "don't step on that", "stay on the path", and "put that back in the bucket" .
- You take pictures of garden beds for reference at newly constucted malls or other public areas because you know they are low maintenace all year, can take abuse and look good.
- You can't park your cars in your 2 car garage because it is over wintering your more tender plants.
- You have a "Beer Garden" for slugs.
These are quotes I have collected over the years or that have been sent to me by friends. It would be very hard to give credit to any one specific person. I take no credit and only wish to pass along the humor.
There is more to come!
