<p>Yeah there’s snow all around outside, but if you’re like me you’re itching to get the 2013 growing season started. Here are a few compost jokes I found to keep me sane and sober as I wait for the last possible frost date. Heh, heh.</p>

<p>Your know you’re a slightly maladjusted compost gardener when…</p>

<ol>
<li><p>You buy an unneeded extra amount of vegetables for the family dinner table, but you purposely indulge your vegetable-phobic kids and therefore let the veggies rot in the crisper so you can throw the spoiled stuff in your compost pile.</p></li>
<li><p>You cry when you discover your spouse throwing away rotten food, and he/she didn’t first ask you if you wanted it.</p></li>
<li><p>You take the temperature of your compost pile more often than that of your sick kids or sick spouse.</p></li>
<li><p>You’re giddy after a night of beer drinking, when you immediately head to your compost pile to add some nitrogen to the mix.</p></li>
<li><p>You move your huge bag of spent coffee grinds so a fellow bus rider can have a seat, and then talk their ear off about compost gardening for the entire trip.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Here’s a riddle:</p>

<p>Q. Where can you find Queen Elizabeth in bed with Mr. Lincoln and John F. Kennedy?</p>

<p>A. In my rose garden!</p>

<p>(If you’re not a rose gardener, these are names of popular roses-- I really do have the 3 of them in the same bed.)</p>

<p>I have queen elizabeth & jfk but different beds.
I dont have lincoln though.
I used to have Chrysler which is similar but I gave it away.</p>

<p>Mr. Lincoln is very tall ;)</p>
