gardening is like fishing...

As long as you wear gloves so you don't touch worms it is amazing.

I would not garden and would not fish for one reason only .....worms. My husband told me I had to learn to bait my own hook so I bought gloves. After he stopped laughing at me and I actually touched the worms gardening was the next logical step.

So now I am gardening in actual dirt (that I didn't buy and put in pots) for the second season and I couldn't be happier.

Way to go!! Isn't gardening a joy?

When I was a kid Mom always had to check my clothes before she washed them because I'd keep worms in my pockets for fishing!

LOL boodreader451, you remind me of my stepdaughter. She didn't like touching the worms or crickets to bait her own hook either so I bought her some artificial lures. She loved fishing after that but then she always wanted us to take her fish off the hook, ROFL!

Comparing gardening to fishing...I'd say that right now my bobber is just kinda floating around in the water!

I am patiently...just like fishing...watching last year's plants poke their little heads out of the dirt!

I thought you were going to say that gardening is like fishing because you stick something in and then see what you get out. :-)

LOL that works too. My shade garden is turning out like that. I didn't label or mark anything (beginner error) so now I am not sure what is popping out!

Funny! I'm the same way with worms! My husband & I planted some shrubs yesterday & every time he found a worm he threw it at me...just to laugh at me jumping around. We went fishing once with the kids & used hotdog rolls on bamboo poles with hooks, and I caught a fish and started yelling for my husband to get the hook out of it's mouth & throw it back, it's hurt! If I ever had to hunt my own food I'd be in big trouble! lol
As for the garden, I'm impatiently waiting for stuff to start happening here...even the tulips haven't popped yet. We planted some boxwood shrubs, I hope it isn't too early for them. The season is so short here, I need to move a zone or two warmer!

hey bookreader!
i've been fishing with you and i think your husband baited your hook!!!
ROFLMAO!!!

Ok as long as we are sharing stories i got one. ok i was 15 at the time and i was sleeping over with a friend and her family took me cat fishing, it was a great night every one caught a ton of fish each.That is saying some thing because there was 13 of us. It was the first time i had been night fishing. well one of my friends cousins caught his first fish of the night and he freaked. so i walked over and grabbed his fish and took the hook right out, needless to say he was embarrassed and his dad teased him all night, " a girl took off your fish" is what they said. oh and he was 17 at the time. LOL.
