How do you know you are a Master Gardener?
There is a decorative compost container on your kitchen counter.
You would rather go to a nursery to shop than a clothing store.
You prefer gardening to watching television.
You plan vacation trips to arboretums and public parks.
Dirt under your fingernails and calloused palms are matters of pride.
Many gardeners suffer from hay fever. Isn’t that news a pollen?
If only I could grow green stuff in my garden like I can in my refrigerator.
If, instead of talking to your plants, you yelled at them, would they still grow, only to be troubled and insecure?
Leaf me alone.
