We find it is best not to work together at the plot or the garden as there are rows, which sometimes needs apology flowers being bought, ....the occasion rant at me

Do you live with an Italian as well Mrs Bee? Mine can go from nought to shouty in 0.6 seconds

Oooo is that what it is? my beloved is part Italian ( he has very fiery temper  tans easy too which is very annoying)

We have a plot each. That reduces the arguments, however he lets the weeds grow through the netting and I get the job of sorting that out at the end of the season or it would get ripped to shreds and last only one season. I am in charge of crop rotation on both plots.

I do most everything. My husband helps when forced - he helped clear the rubbish into a skip and onto bonfire at the weekend but then left me to it once the digging got started. I don't mind - I love it 

For me it's a way to relax. I don't think I'd like him interferring too much 

Exactly the same for me, I would hate it if he wanted to come with me, its my little haven.

Me too - have give mine jobs to do otherwise I need to send him home unless of course there is something big or heavy to do   life would be so much harder without him

I share a plot with two friends - we are all Mum's and met at our childrens school.  We share the work between us.  We've found that we all have our special talents!  I am truly hopeless at digging - though much better such getting my fav new tool, an azada.  But I am able to grow things from seed and nuture them along.  One friend is a human digging machine and LOVES it! The other is a stay at home mum so can devote more time and do a bit of everything. 
Having said that my dear OH, who has absolutely no interest in growing, or indeed vegetables in general, loves building things.  He has constructed our shed from a salvaged one that everyone else wrote off, has built us the most sturdy 'munty' bean frame all from salvaged timber and compost bins from pallets.  He also keeps us supplied with pallets, scaffolding planks, wood that he goes out and finds 'in various locations' (he won't divulge where exactly!) on a Sunday morning.

  mine (age 8 & 9) have decided that I am the boss of the house so they come to me for important decisions (like - can we watch the tv?!)... poor OH - but, it probably is true!

What is it with these husbands that come and tell us what to do when they clearly don't have a clue    I'm always getting "you need to do .......... " and when I protest that it's actually not the case I get " I'm telling you ......... you NEED to do  ........... "

No, it's my little haven and I do ask him to come down there sometimes just to get him away from the tv, but usually end up thinking that I should have just gone on my own

I do everything and my boyfriend gives me a hand when he can but I save up 2 person jobs like putting up the bean frame to save me from looking like a numpty or worse one of the old timers offering a hand but insisting I do it there way!

I certainly can't dig for as long as he can but ill give it a good go!
