You know you're a hardcore gardening addict when...

On a routine trip to the hardware store, it starts to hail. This does not stop you from running over to the garden center to pick up some bulbs and plants.

The hail also does not stop you from tossing a 3 cubic-foot bale of soil conditioner into the trunk, even though this requires you to actually wrap your arms around said frozen and wet bale and waltz it over to the trunk, while ice hits the back of your neck and slides down your miserable bare skin.

Because, hey, it was on sale. Besides, just because it's hailing now doesn't mean it won't magically clear up tomorrow and turn into perfect gardening weather. Right? Back me up here!
