Is talking aloud madness?

Went into the garden early this morning to view the fruits of my labour in the early sunshine. I'm plagued by Bittercress the damn things seem to be everywhere no matter how much I weed them out. Four new ones had appeared overnight or been missed yesterday. As I was gingerly placing a foot between treasured plants I realised that I was saying things to the weeds that I usually reserve for Jehova's witnesses. Is that madness? Please tell me that I'm not the only one!

If you can hear them answer you that is madness
I often talk to myself
That's a relief Kef. Although I sometimes think the ones I miss snigger at me as I walk away
Gratitude Verdun. I've never been called normal before
While trying to pull out a particularly deep and tenacious shrub root the other day I have to admit to using words I didn't even know I knew. Especially when it snapped and I went flying backwards and cracked my head on the bird bath.
On the other hand all 'pretties' in the garden are rewarded with 'Well hello sweetie' and 'Aren't you beautiful?' when the blooms first open. Seedlings and ailing plants are given tender words of encouragement.
Weeds & pests in general are referred to "little bu$$ers"
As you might have guessed I talk to myself all the time in the garden
Spanish bluebells, common celadine and bittercress have words specially reserved for them....

Do you worry about carbuncles on the face of an old friend, Topbird?
Today it was my strimmer string/winder/holder thingy that was getting a good talking to! I need to remember that while I may have my earplugs in....others don't! I'm miles away from anywhere thankfully!

Pp that's funny because when I realised that I was calling a weed 'a fatherless child' I checked to see that the neighbours blinds were closed
