That I would say is the definition of a real gardener, one who can just pop

just completely lost in their own little gardening world, unaware that the
world is moving on around them.

How about "I`m just popping down the allottment to clear the front up
a bit". 3 hours later SWMBO strolls over asking what I`ve been up to.
I never stopped not even for 5 minutes, and you`d have sworn I`d never
been there!!!!
