....if you throw out all other gardening books but keep the SFG book series.

(Ya might need to keep a few old gardening books just for reference.)

You get excited when your wife brings home a twelve pack...........of flowers or veggies and not beer!

you sit in your chair in the garden, watching over your baby plants AND have a laptop with you so you can read the forums at the same time.

My husband knows he wont have to go to a jewelry store, or clothing store for my anniversary or birthday. He won't be embarassed asking a sales lady for the right size. All my gifts will come from a garden center somewhere out there! Where men can still shop like real men!! You Know You're a Square Foot Gardener When... - Page 4 Icon_lol

If you fall asleep thinking about your SFG, dream about your SFG and wake up thinking about your SFG.

........wonder if you should have planted the bloomed rose bushes that are in large pots into a stacked SFG.

go running out into the middle of a torrential downpour with 1/2" hail (with an umbrella...I'm crazy, but I'm not STUPID!) to find the torn fleece you put in the garbage because you get teary thinking that all your little plants could be smashed to a pulp by the hail.

I was in Wally World today....looking at the Hobby Farm Magazine and saw what looked like a SFG and almost yelled out "SFG". Now for sure I know I am hooked on SFG.

Well, how cool is that? What shows/movies?

PB 5/25/2010, 9:33 pm

If while you are working on your SFG you are comtemplating what you will post about your adventures in SFGing today!!

Instead of telling hubby about the garden today. It has turned into I did -fill in the blank- in the SFG today.

happyfrog 5/26/2010, 9:14 am

. . .start making a list of all your gardening friends and see if they'd be interested in splitting a seed order - consisting of ONE seed packet each of 75+ different varieties - it'll be a win-win for everyone! We all get to grow a wide variety of produce/fruits w/o much cash outlay. . .and no worries about seed storage. Smile

johnfromfl 5/26/2010, 5:26 pm

....Talk to several people you meet and they think SFG a good Idea.

This happened to me today. I convinced two people to try SFG.

**Josh** 5/29/2010, 8:27 am

Posting this one for my dad

You might be a SFGer if:

You tell your wife your going out to work in the garden…

But instead you go to the SFG TT, just to hang out and have
a good time with your SFG buddies, cause you don’t really have any work to do in your SFG.

I was actually about to do that this morning, but I wound up talking to the neighbor instead.

Kabaju42 5/30/2010, 11:05 pm

... If you spend most of your free time inside looking out the kitchen window to look at the garden.

... If you've seriously considered taking out said window and putting in a glass door instead for quicker access to the garden. Hey it can't be that hard can it?
