I'm so-so about it. We have a lot of projects that we want to get done outside, but I just don't have the ambition!!
DH will mow the lawn, but other than that, neither of us really enjoy yard work.
Do you like doing yard work?

Yes and no! DH has taken over all the yard work since I got pregnant, and we definitely like to make our front yard look nice, buuuut... we kinda suck at keeping flowers alive. I don't mind mowing, trimming hedges, or pulling weeds, but I hate gardening! Hence why our flowers are all dead but our hedges and lawn look great! lol!
In the backyard however....I've given up until I have more time to deal with it.

hm... I don't mind pulling weeds. But that usually means someone needs to explain to me which plants are weeds and which aren't, because I will pull a whole friggin bed before realizing half of it was flowers.
My husband LOVES gardening/lawnwork. But, it's what he does for a living so he's passionate about it.

I love yard work. Some of it sucks, but in general, I love gardening and hedging and pulling weeds. I'd much rather be outside doing yard work than inside washing dishes and folding laundry.

No. My husband LOVES it, though. He can go at it.

Not at all. It's such a chore for me. My DH likes it better than I do.

I don't particularly enjoy it, but it's very satisfying to work outside. There is a lot that needs to be done in my backyard, and right now the hardest thing is finding time to get to it.

No thanks. DH loves it though, thank goodness for our yard!

I am meh about it, there are so many other things I could find to occupy my time, but we do have a largish yard and a pool, so we always have lots to do.

haha no, not at all. DH loves doing things outside and wishes that I was more into it. I mean, I love a nice looking yard, and I'll do yard work, but I certainly do not enjoy doing it.

@Bookworm: @.twist.: @BananaPancakes: I have no idea how you enjoy pulling weeds! that's probably the most dreaded chore of mine!!!

Only when it's not overhelming like the weeds have over taken our flowerbeds. I enjoy seeing pride in my work because it's clean and I know I took care of it.

@MrsBrewer: haha! I think it's good anger management for me... I may or may not cackle gleefully as I spray weed killer or pull their nasty little selves out of the ground

@MrsBrewer: haha well, I'd probably enjoy it less if I were better at keep flowers alive. But I kill them just from a glance. So, maybe this is my way of saying "haha! These stupid weeds are supposed to die!" *shrugs* There is a lot of satisfaction to ripping ugly weeds out of the earth. lol.

@Bookworm: LOL oh that's hilarious!!! My dog is a major digger, so I'm almost tempted just to let him have at it in our flower bed sometimes....is that bad?? hahahahah!! maybe I should try the anger management plan! hahaha

I enjoy it. LO loves being outside and entertains herself really well and I'd much rather be outside making stuff look nice than inside and it helps to get some physical energy out.

Hate it. My stepmom and dad came over a few weeks ago and planted all these plants and flowers all over. And I feel terrible because half of them are dying now even though we've been watering them (but not too much, etc.).
