You know you're a gardener when only bare hands will do and you love planting, hand weeding and pulling up thistles without gardening gloves, those ham salad barm cakes taste great with the additional muck off your hands, you give insects the thumb and finger treatment - before you eat the ham salad barm cakes - and whenever you go out your OH gives you grief about the state of your hands and nails which are permanently stained from the clay soil. Don't you just love it????
