1) You have more than 2000 DIFFERENT kinds of seed, and multiples of a lot of them.

2) Your seed collection has outgrown a sterilite tub.

3) Your seed collection has many more than 10 years old but you'd rather part with one of the grandkids first.

4) You send out more than 400 bubbles with requests every winter.

5) Your family is going to have eat ramen noodles for the next two months but you just *HAD* to have that third 1041 or second 1068 at the auction.

6) You ever gave your other half the credit card to go shopping and your truck keys, to make sure she was out of the house on auction night.

7) You belong to 43 different grower clubs this year, because 42 of them give out free promos to new members.

8) In chat you'll pounce eagerly on any and every chance of seed sharing... and have bubbles by the keyboard ready to fill out the from, and the outer envelope to fill out the to, as you talk.

9) Your spreadsheet on your collection takes up more than one GB, and you bought a flash drive to back it up on.

10) You made the other half sign a prenup style agreement that gives her the kids and you get the seeds.

1)You have your seed collection in your Will

2) you build a climate and humidity controlled room for your collection

3)You have a security system for your seed room

4)You do cash jobs just to buy seeds at the auctions, so your wife don't find out.

5) You reschedule family night because there are seed auction on BP

7) You have Ebay giant pumpkin seeds on your favorites

8)You own seeds from more than 350 growers

9) You plan to break into Brooks house to get his stash of 1068's

1)You won't plant the seeds because you feel you are not a good grower yet.

2) You never will be able to plant the 500 seeds you have because you can only do 2 plants a year.

3) You take your seeds out 1x month to look at them and dream.

1. You have to take up every free seed offer you see in seed exchange.
2. You offer seeds to anyone and everyone because now you have more seeds than you can possibly use.
3. You have all your seeds layed out and your just looking at them going ooh, wow to yourself,,then your wife asks you what your doing, and you say, I'm just staring at them. (? maybe I'm a seed redneck)

(1-10) When you sit and try to think how your gonna get the next SASB by doing the least amount of work possable and the cheapest way to get it. and yet still make the grower whos sending you the SASB believe that hes getting a great deal! ''cough'

When the stinkiest nastiest rotten pumpkin 'might have a few good seeds' in it.
When other growers say 'Hester, have a look' after they have harvested seeds from a fruit.
When 25K seeds isn't enough yet.
When you call retired growers and ask them for seeds.
When the that old WR Checkon pumpkin had no good seeds in it, but I wanted one anyway.
When you take the time to write on each seed what it is both incoming and outgoing.
When the kids say 'Can I have a few to give to my friends' and you say no because you know they would be wasted.
When you start saving seeds from carving pumpkins because they looked cool.

I am a Seed Whore but recovering, as I am turning Seed Pimp. Its more fun giving them away.....

PS - However I will accept any 1041's, 998, 1068, if you have them...LOL

Oh, I forgot, you might be a seed-ho if you are willing to sit with bleach water and a micron rated filter mask to clean up NASTY seeds that grew fur just because they might be 'gooduns'
