Are You a Gardenholic?

Addictions and obsessions come in many forms. Gardening for many can be a pleasant pastime or a compulsion. A gardenholic, most often referred to as a plantaholic, is a person addicted to growing things in the dirt. Like the addicted followers of the Grateful Dead appropriately called Deadheads, would a garden addict be better named a soil head not a green thumb?
