The Mark of the Gardener
Too me, the mark of the Gardener is dirty fingernails. No matter how I try to keep scrubbed, my fingernails take a real beating during the planting season. I can spend time using a nail brush and soap, getting my nails cleaned up, and then I go outside and I just have to pull one weed and one thing leads to another, and then it's dirty fingernails all over again. It's funny that pulling one weed will undo five minutes of nail brushing, but it happens, --especially when it's as muddy as it is here these days.
