| What a fun article! I giggled my way through all the questions and descriptions of gardening styles. I guess my style is a bit of everything, but I did answer "D" twice... however, I'd like to note that you wouldn't believe just how *im*perfectly manicured my nails are! I don't think my hands are ever entirely clean in spring & summer... LOL! |

| this was a hoot! Being an A type gardener in a totally non Type personality (I tend to test strangely, I've had professionals throw up their hands and walk away!), I've finally discovered what's missing - it's all those annuals I'm supposed to be buying! |

| Heck, I printed up 3 copies - gonna mail them to my friends.
They'll get a real charge out of this, as I did. Now, I'm not
saying how many "Ds" I got, not even for ready money would
I ever tell :o) - I'll just say that no self-respecting gardening
club would admit me as a member. Thanks a bunch.
Loved it. |

| Hmmm... for most I answered 'e' (none of the above)... not sure how to categorize that...
1. E. what on earth would I ever want with a Daylily??? so i tossed it in the trash immediately, since it wasn't a palm.
2. E. A shrub? Why would I ever plant a shrub when I could plant a palm? So I planted a palm
3. E. I have too many Japenese Maples already, so I went out and bought another palm
4. E. Veggie garden??? You have got to be joking!
5. E. Photo C came close, but a blank slate in Hawaii- now THAT would excite me... more room for palms!!
So For those of us (and I am sure there are many, right??) who answered E. for all the questions, you get labeled as a great obsessive, cumpulsive palm gardner.. .what other kinds of gardners are there??

| I thought it was hilarious! I'm somewhere between an academic gardener and an idealistic gardener (although I do get a lot more things done than the idealistic gardener!) The only question I didn't know how to answer was the vegetable garden one, I don't grow veggies and don't have any interest in growing veggies, and that wasn't one of the choices! |

| LOL, 2zeus ! I know exactly what you mean.
Between the rains drowning everything and turning it black
and the sun scorching to death the poor struggling plants,
the ONLY thing that actually thrived and gave me over
one dozen fruits was the lone butternut squash vine that grew
on a 2 foot mound. Well, I was so proud of the squash -
I would gladly have waxed and polished them and arranged
them in an artful display if they had promised not to rot and
stink up the house. While they were each and every single
one delicious, it hurt my heart to have to cook them up -
my only gardening accomplishment of this entire summer :o( |

| Wonderful, funny article. I loved every word!!
The 'quiz' was a great touch, too. I scored all around the chart, so I guess I am a bit of each of those gardener types, all rolled into one!!
Thanks for the chuckle on such a wonderful subject. |

| fun to laugh at our negative qualities. I got 4 D's but it only seems partly like me because I like to research what I plant, but not too much. |
