We have our system where he plants and I harvest. He designs the garden shapes for the flower gardens and I plant. Its worked for forty years! I love all your garden structures. Great post! :)Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06626841318734250784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221106512530304517.post-52004848221429063932011-05-10T11:18:38.494-03:002011-05-10T11:18:38.494-03:00Love your blog, Bren. :) In our small garden, I se...Love your blog, Bren. :) In our small garden, I seem to be in charge of planting and harvesting, but my s.o. contributes an awful lot of sweat equity - building beds, fixing fences, and (the latest) constucting trellis' for our peas. I'm eyeing up your cold frame - maybe that will be next year's project. :)Kim Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717050215616427064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221106512530304517.post-84440115247900717832011-05-07T22:30:30.083-03:002011-05-07T22:30:30.083-03:00Dear Bren, How yummy your garden looks just now. I...Dear Bren, How yummy your garden looks just now. I am with your way of planting . . . lots of thinning greens to harvest and toss with flavorful oils, herbs and lemon. I think you have a successful compromise. Rabbits do not seem to like these tart greens either. I am envious of your salad medley and hope to get mine in soon. Thank you so for your kind words and forgive my absence. It is not as I would wish . . . I hope to be back very soon.

I've got the yard all to myself which can be nice but sometimes I drag hubby out and force him to help if only for the company.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221106512530304517.post-51529285061393826162011-05-07T08:28:27.764-03:002011-05-07T08:28:27.764-03:00We do some things together but I'm usually the...We do some things together but I'm usually the driving force - he will do some of the fencing and so on...I am, like you, a throw in a bunch of seeds and let them go - except carrots - I cannot thin which is crucial obviously, so last year I got the carrot tapes -brilliant!

Still, gardening is a huge passion of mine that my husband has 0 interest in. It might be nice to share that passion. Your greens are coming along so nicely. My daffodils and hyacinths are open, but like your tulips, mine are waiting for warmer, sunnier weather.Jennifer@threedogsinagardenhttp://threedogsinagarden.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221106512530304517.post-69538455891961761182011-05-06T12:56:40.138-03:002011-05-06T12:56:40.138-03:00Oh my, you two sound like us ...
