When your amazing husband offers to take you to orchid shops "Because it's fun to see you so excited."
When you start focusing your career just so you can afford a greenhouse when you retire.
When you find mold growing in the house.
These are for the under-lights growers:
When lightbulbs are a line item in your budget.
When you've considered buying a generator just to power your lights during an outage.
When your house is 75 degrees all year without running the furnace - no matter how cold it gets outside.
You worry about your house burning down on a regular basis.
When you don't need any other lighting in your house during the day, even in the basement.
When your electric bill is so high the police come knocking.
When you have to bring used CF lighbulbs for recycling at several different places because you've reached your limit everywhere.
