removing brambles, we back onto a lane & they come under the frnce from there

I don't like any heavy work as I get backache so easily and I don't like anything that involves slugs! But overall quite happy with most things, I like pottering out there, it is a really relaxing thing to do!

cleaning out all the used plant pots at the end of the year, bit sad but always the next year to look forward to

I do not enjoy weeding where you have to pull the offenders out and cannot simply use a hoe on them. I can only do light manual work due to health problems so sometimes have to resort to weedkiller which I am not happy using.

My DH loves cutting hedges with his electric hedge cutter he has a lovely time but because it is too heavy for me to use I have the wonderful???? Job of picking up the bits !

I think getting the weeds from between paving slabs or paviors is an awful job especially if you have an big drive or patio - looks great for a short while but then the weeds appear again

I hate weeding

What's a weed?

weeding is my worst job

Murdering snails.

I hate raking up leaves Our garden is surrounded by a wood and the leaves are non stop, luckily grandchildren love raking them up for some hot chocolate and marshmallows

I dislike thinning the veg patch....I don't like to waste anything so leave them and end up with misshapen weird carrots, parsnips that haven't got room to grow, beetroot desperately trying to swell but with no room etc.When will I learn!!

I hate digging dandelions out of the lawn

Weeding the patio! It's never ending, no sooner do you finish it, you have the little blighters appearing again through the cracks! Also I hate having to control the various pests such as slugs!

I don't like weeding. I am never sure what is a weed and what a plant

Definitely weeding - wish everything else in my garden grew as well!

i hate weeding!

Weeding wins this one every time. Even with a hoe I was finding it tough on my back, and using a kneeler earlier this year I did something to my toe and set off a bout of gout. Can't we train slugs to eat weeds? It's about time the little blighters did something useful.

At the moment, it is getting rid of ants making a nest in the cracks of my patio. Thought I had got rid of them, then back they came.

The only weed I have is ground elder. I have to get rid of that otherwise it takes over. Not enough of it to be covered with carpet, but enough to annoy.
However, all the rest of the weeds are wild flowers and necessary for the bees.

Sweeping the porch! Aaaaagggghhh!

weeding the lawn

The job I hate the most in the garden is sweeping up the leaves - there's always more on the ground when you've finished

Weeding the path, having to get down on my knees and crawl along pulling them up is really difficult

Clearing the clippings from the shrubs and bushes at the front of the house as the ground is covered in shingle and I land up with more shingle than clippings in the bin
