In our home, currently, nobody does the gardening! It's a jungle out there! I worked really hard on it last summer but since being pregnant I haven't felt up to doing the heavy stuff. I've kept the front garden looking nice and planted some flowers but the 110ft back garden - no chance! I've included some pics of last year (sob sob sob, it looks so terrible now!!).

It's a bone of contention for us because I came from a family where it was firmly the man's job - it was a household chore - and my dad had to do it (in addition to the general tasks like mowing the lawn, my mum would often request certain flowers etc and my dad would plant them). DH, however, came from a family where his mother did most of the gardening because she loved it (she still does). He thinks of the gardening not as a chore but as a hobby - and one he doesn't participate in because he, personally, doesn't enjoy it.

This creates problems for us - as I don't feel like I should have to do it and neither does he!!!! (For the record, I also hate gardening but I want it to look nice hence my hard work last year!)

How does it work in your household?
