I hate picking up all the leaves which seem to be mostly in our garden from our neighbours trees. We have already worn out one garden vac so I'm doing it by hand at the moment & it's endless.

Mowing the lawn! It's such a chore and needs to be done so regularly. One day I will splash out and get a sit down mower or pay my grandson to do it!

Weeding is my big pet hate. I have to do it though. I grow most of my own veg, and have a big garden so it makes it worth it when I get a load of free veg.

I hate all gardening jobs but I also hate the garden to look untidy. I have to talk myself into tackling most jobs and then , instead of the intended half hours weeding, I end up doing two hours and can't walk the next day!

Weeding as I have a bad back

Cutting the hedge can be so strenuous, but I love it once it's all done and looks nice and neat.

Weeding! We have just moved to a house with a very large garden that is overrun with weeds

Weeding, really dislike it.
