That makes me a nut case also,as I do the same thing!
BTW My hubby also thinks I'm obsessed,and he's right.He does love the end result in the garden though,and thats what matters most.
Happy deadheading...LOL

What about the neighbor's flowers, do you deadhead them? Do you pull their weeds? OK...I do! I admit it!!!

I pull their weeds because I know if I don't the will invade my yard while I'am sleepling and eat my garden.

I weed nursery pots sometimes if the weeds are especially large.

Do you have any other symptoms of OCD?

Hahahaha, Jane, there is a thread in the Perennial forum called "It's more than a hobby when..." and it has had 80 replies in about 8 days :)

The compulsion to deadhead surely belongs in there! Yes, I've done this in some highly inapproprite places... LOL

Thank you all for making me feel so much better. :) I just knew that I was not the only one out there that did this. IÂll be sure to show him your responses when he gets home that way he will know IÂm not nuts. I just have to be sure he never catches me talking to my plants. ;)

Lucky for us OCD is an asset in the garden LOL

Last summer I found myself deadheading my friends' containers whenever I was visiting/social occasions. I have vowed to restrain myself this year ( They were polite but I think they were offended). I don't think you are nuts!

I can't stand to hold still outside so I deadhead while I'm talking to neighbors. I have deadheaded at the kids school, bank and at other people house. I will be gone for 9 days and the neighbor said she would weed a couple times for me. Forget weeding. Deadhead, please!!!

Join the crowd - I do the same thing - as well as I see others do too. When gardening is in your "blood" it is so hard to explain that to a non-gardener. Enjoy yourself - (I deadhead geraniums in the stores all the time and then have to look for the trash can)

I deadhead at restaurants, hotels, anywhere. It's my way of gardening away from home.

Well then I'm a nut too! I like continuous bloom :)
