You know you're a cp'er when......

You know you're a cp'er when you drive
5 hours to a carnie meeting (Pullman Washington to Seattle area) 5-6 times a year occasionally crashing at people's houses you just met at the meeting (Great hospitality).
True story did it for 3 years.

You know you're a cp'er when you give away plants just so you can make more room for new ones!!

You know when you are a CPer when you do this to your garden:-

Last years pic of same greenhouses showing the flytrap house on the far right which is not visible on the top picture!

 

[shokuchuu]

Mike, I will have to visit your nursery some time in the growing season (and do some serious shopping!). Great pics!

 

[NepenthesMaster]

You know your a CP'er when hold a funeral fit for a king every time a plant dies.

 

[BigCarnivourKid]

You're a CPer when you see a picture of Mike Kings greenhouses and immediately recognize them as his!

EDIT: and the same goes for his grow list

 

[NepenthesMaster]

You know your a CP'er when your Christmas presents consist entirely of plants and supplies (getting two new thermostats).

 

[LauraZ5]

Oh my! If only my back yard could be so "cluttered" like Mike King's!

 

[Bugweed]

Your late, Laura! Get started!!!

 

[LauraZ5]

I absolutley positively am not late!  I checked into greenhouses and such just recently and had to put it on a back burner for a bit because of costs goshdarnitall! All of you people are going to have to keep posting photos of your greenhouses for me so that I can live vicariously through pictures until I can get my own! Poor poor poor greenhouseless Laura!

 

[NepenthesMaster]

You know your a CP'er when you give Laura this info:
Get a flowerhouse, they are really cheap. I have an 8 x 8 greenhouse and it cost me about $300. I have a 6 x 6 greenhouse and it cost about $130!

Gosh, I feel like a narcotics addict so I must be in the right place.  NepenthesMaster, please go to this thread-

Please post photos, links, and information of any "quick fixes" you may have for me until I can afford something like Mike King has... just one of his would be fine for the future!

 

[NepenthesMaster]

You know your a CP'er when your plant purchases are a normal expense just like taxes.

you know your a Cper when you realize that is actually impossible to write a book on CP care because no matter what you put in it someone will prove you wrong

Boy! Ain't that the truth!

You know you're a CPer when you already know you're whole tax refund will be in the form of a cash card so you can order online.

You know you're a cp-er when you tell your wife, "No, we can't buy THIS house...There's nowhere for my plants."

Yes, it's true. We passed up on a house my wife actually liked because there was no space for my hobby. Turned out for the better, though, as we found an even BETTER house!

 

[NepenthesMaster]

You know your a CP'er when you look through every spam email and junk catalogue you get, searching for great deals on plants, greenhouses, and other equipment.

 

[Tropics]

You know you're a CPer when you get your CPs a Christmas present.

 

[Treaqum]

You know your a cp-er when you go into Target and look for large undrained containers to use as bog gardens

Hi Dave,
Funny you should mention that, in 1998 my wife and I found the current house as we instructed the real estate agents to find us houses with large gardens!
