Obsessed
Every herb sounded so fascinating, I couldn't decide which ones to plant so I purchased about 150 seed packages but I didn't have faith they would grow so come spring, I bought another 150 plants in 4" pots.
We read books and visited other gardens. Our conversations were garden oriented. When our children came home to visit, if as in the past, they wanted to talk about their problems, this time we just said, "If this isn't about flowers, we're not talking."
You might say, we became obsessed.
But it felt good.
