Is it just you...

[piskieinboots]

.....with the garden passion or does your OH take part?

Mine isn't a gardener by even a remote stretch of imagination but he is jolly good at taking instruction from a woman - I have the military to thank for that

[HeyWayne]

Just me - but LadyWayne does love the harvesting bit.

[Nicos]

Both of us....to be honest ,OH is bigger, stronger and fitter than me so , but I put in the same effort with less results.
( don't you just find nagging and bossing about such hard work?? ...)

Tis good to share an outside hobby with me hubby.

[scarey55]

It was always only me and then with a full time job, all I could was a bit of flower gardening.
But......
When we moved here and I started growing veg and being a tiny bit successful KK started to take an interest and now, he has his "own" patch and has already started to grow veg.
Never thought I'd see the day but - glad I did

[zazen999]

Both of us; but he does the flowers and I do the veg. He does come in handy for any clearing/digging/compost turning tho'; he is very good like that.

[piskieinboots]

I would so love it if he shared the passion but he doesn't - I guess we can't have everything can we! I am grateful for all the help he gives.

[Shortie]

Nope, I'm with Piskie on this one, OH isn't in the slightest bit interested. He'll help when he knows it's something that needs two (spreading the horse muck, or ripping down the shed) but other than that he helps out once in a blue moon.

Sometimes I like it as I can get away on my own, sometimes I miss the company

[moggssue]

Until now it's always been just me. Before I moved in with him he couldn't understand the passion at all, then after a year of nagging he agreed to a veg patch at the bottom of the garden for me, now we have a lottie and he's looking at seed packets ... so there's hope for me! He's agreed to help build supports and the like, and has asked if 'we' can grow sweetcorn and allll the veg for christmas day 2008 - me thinks he might be catching on to the attraction .....

[SarzWix]

Mostly just me. OH helps out when I need him (as long as there's no Grand Prix on...), and he attempts to grow his own chillies, but he's not very fond of the digging etc. I don't mind, I'm happy enough there on my own, nobody bickering or underfoot (cept Paddy, & she moves without arguing!)...

[terrier]

OH won't go near the veg patch ... frightened of WORMS!

[SueA]

My O.H. isn't remotely interested in gardening & sometimes I'm quite pleased as I think we'd waste a lot of time bickering - ' no don't put that there put it here, I want flowers there, well I want veg.' etc. (in a friendly way!) & we can do enough of that indoors !

[Newbie]

Mine is happy to keep the grass tidy but all the rest of the gardening is generally left down to me. Veg, flowers, planting, harvesting and the rest.

Give him his due though, with the help of his mate he did rotovate out my initial 2 veg beds last year only a month after we moved into the house. Am thinking of trying to get him to do another 2 for next year, best start the nagging now!

The dog does "help" whenever she can, but that generally involves pinching whatever i'm trying to harvest & tasting them!

[Spreadsheet]

Been a while since I posted, been a bit distracted...

My OH says he "can't understand why I like looking at flowers" - for "looking at flowers" you can read any sort of gardening activity at all really.

But the garden is my territory, where I retreat for some peace and quiet. He does mow the lawn though!

[Flummery]

Mostly me. Including cutting grass (but we have progressively less and less of that!) If we get a lottie he'll show an interest at certain times of year and he does get stuck in if I'm digging and he's around. To be honest, I don't mind. His bit of the garden is the Wild Flower Meadow (v small!) which usually looks a complete tip but is fabulous for about 4 weeks of the year!

[Snadger]

I've had my allotment 2 years and OH doesn't even know, or isn't bothered where it is! Showed her the google earth image of it and she said "Hmmm"

Suits me though!
