You know you’re a Flower Farmer if…
It’s the heat that makes farmers and gardeners a little desperate, right? There are some key signs indicating you’ve misplaced your decorum.
You have an unbelievable mid leg tan line from wearing boots and shorts.
Your hands are always dirty, and you don’t care.
Your tool belt holds a beverage so you can harvest during the cocktail hour.
For early morning harvest in heat, working in your jammies is expedient.
On the rare occasion you look in the mirror, you wonder, “Do these pants make me look homeless?”
You pee in planting beds, believing it will diminish deer pressure.
You carry snips, pruners and water in your truck in case you stumble upon a foraging opportunity.
You have a permanent ring around your wrist from wearing rubber bands you use to bunch flowers.
Every time you open the dryer, rubber bands fly out.
Your guest bathroom fills up with the fresh flowers that don’t fit in your cooler.
Your friends call to give you orphan vases when they clean under the sink.
You troll the neighborhood for bags of leaves and cut grass. (Neighbors, please put a star on the bags that don’t include dog shit and branches.)
