    This is what gardens are all about ..........
    I've tended my seedlings weeded the the beds raked the gravel pathways........... Ok it's all a lie....... Must tell you that two years ago I seriously damaged my back .............. My wife has tended my seedlings weeded the beds raked the gravel pathways and now I sit back and admire my leaderships skills ... Now sitting outside under the parasol protected from the glaring sun ...sipping a cold alcoholic ginger beer

          Sorry to hear about your back DH, but do remember that with leadership skills comes great responsibility! You must ensure that Mrs DH is fully motivated and rewarded accordingly ;) Perhaps a Pimms, or three? :whistle:
