Does your partner fill your garden with junk?
 

My wife has a thing about stuffing every available space in our garden with pot plants and ornaments (mostly frogs and owls)

This means that any time I have to do an important man-job, like rodding the drains or cutting the grass, I have to shift dozens of bloody pots and concrete animals first

As if that weren't bad enough, I'm forever falling over the damned things

Does anyone else prefer an uncluttered garden?

how doth thy garden grow....

Buy a shotgun and have a blast. :03:

That last squirrel looks like he's praying, too

Nearly thirty pots and a dozen or so concrete animals at the rear but most importantly....not a blade of grass.

I think you should look at this situation from another perspective, Eichhornchen. Just pave over the garden or lay concrete and you can either put up portable basketball stands with nets so you can play basketball. you could also use it as a squash court or play deck hockey on it. I'm sure there are other things you could do as well.





Now you have a nice recreation area. :)

Oh yeah... then when I fell over her pots I'd smash my teeth in

No, thank god. There is a bit of art Kitsch, but this is somewhat necessary; often something we brought with us from holidays but usually it is also something functional..
I am right now moving stones from one place to another, to build a dry stone wall out of unworked stones, and it is no fun at almost 30 degrees :oops:

Don't have a partner. Don't have a garden. I don't have a lot of junk either, but that last should probably be qualified by how you define "junk".

Stop bitching on will you, on and on and on about the weather! You trying to puts us Brits out of a job? :03:

Yeh, nothing wrong with the 30's, it's the 40's and above I don't like!!:yep:
My wife has a nice garden and where it gets a bit thick with plants she mows around them so I have no complaints!!:yeah:

Our garden. lol

our entire family calls my house the "plant hospice"

its the place plants come die.

every spring my wife pours her soul into making the garden look as beautiful as can be, she weeds it, puts down new mulch and new decorations, plants lovely flowers.

within a week it is a wasteland... she isnt known for her green thumb lol

seriously she will call us into the room "You guys come look at my lovely new plant!"

me and the kids will almost simultaneously respond with "Poor thing." - "it has no idea what fate awaits it." - "i'll see that it gets a proper burial." - "do you have a list of its next of kin?"

on more than one occasion i have suggested pulling all the weeds, tilling the soil up with a few cans of salt, laying down pine needles throughout, and topping it off with gravel and a few nice ornamental things... she hasnt taken me up on it though yet

Try a concrete jungle!!:yep:

No lawn, bliss. :sunny::sunny:
