Lost clippers, plants to close together, lol - I am guilty. I sing to my plants, seldom swear at them but have been known to swear at people and pets that are not careful around them. Mess with my babies and you will receive my wrath!
When it's hot and I am sweating in the garden I sometimes take off my glasses and lay them down. Eye glasses are even harder to find in the garden than clippers. I have partially solved both problems by always remembering to set stuff down in a pot. That way I just have to search the pots. Somewhere buried deep in my garden is a hoe that I haven't seen for two years.
I baby my brugs and fuchsias. Yes, I even cried once when a favorite brug died.
My pot ghetto….I had an ingenious idea a couple years ago. I put trap doors in my deck so that I could store pots underneath it. (clearance is about 2 ft) I still have the ghetto but at least I don’t have to look at it. Of course once a pot goes in there it has little chance of ever coming back out.
I am so glad my DH closes his eyes to my gardening addiction. He is such a wonderful enabler.

#1 garden addiction NO-NO. = Never have a few too many drinks in the dead of winter and go plant shopping on the internet.

These are pics from the web of clematis I have. Mine aren't blooming yet (cold weather) so I hi-jacked these pics and made a collage of what I have to look forward to this summer.
