*!**!* Husbands

The neighbours had a load of soil dumped on their garden - patio area- in the heavy rains a week or so ago. We said they could put it on our garden as we need to raise a bed 6" or more. I had planted some poached egg seeds which were coming up nicely- free sample one month with gardening mag. What does huybby do?

Puts a load of the soil on top of my seedlings and not on the bit of garden that really needed it :evil: I had shown him the seedlings too, so he couldn´t say he didn´t know where they were. I carefully scraped away the soil and there were my seedlings, squashed and dirty but alive.
We don´t have a lot of choice of flowers for the bed cos of the full sun- and when I get some coming up he tries to smother them. MEN!

Typical sign of bad management is blaming the work force who was obviously inadequately briefed.

Poor chap has my sympathy

Now as a man John you know that if Hubby plants something woe betide anyone who goes within a mile of it! However if Hubby has not been involved it is of no importance and therefore we ladies are in the wrong for screaming -------- at them

Your point being?

They always blame us - whatever, DD

Even the cat blames me when it rains.

Poached Egg plants are very hardy - mine have been growing away all winter. Bit like some husbands.

The worst thing he did was snap off all the gladioli plants coming up- he thought they were blades of grass :shock: After that he knew to leave any weeding to me- come to think of it maybe it was a plot to make me think he was useless?

I recall my old man snapping off my tomato plants with the lawn mower cable which he carelessly flicked :shock: I'd just potted them into their final pots and placed them on the patio along the kitchen wall. Took months to get them to that stage and in one flick they were decapitated. He is the worst garden pest I have :roll:

I caught my hubby trying to poke the clematis back in the ground after strimming it clean off (2 years of twiddling and twining the plant) aghhhhh!

Don't you worry your pretty little head about it - you can plant a cabbage in its place now :flower:
