[happy larry]

Agh what is it with some people,took my brother out shooting the other day get back home and find 2 big baskets of picked peas sat in the sun.Went to water the poly tunnel plants and noticed a bare piece of ground,she (mrs) had pulled up my globe artichoke,i asked why she didnt put the peas in the fridge or wait until i had got time to pod them,didnt think was her reply.Asked what right she had to go pulling plants up,it had black fly on it and she thought it would spread to the peas.Bloody fuming i was,last year she cut the flowering stems off the spuds.

Is divorce too strong a word?

In the big picture, what are a few plants/food...... she has her reasons, you have yours....so maybe there is something you both are not saying to each other...Did she want to spend time with you?

We are complex creastures and thats what I love!!!!

[deepinthewoods]

   at least shes tryin to help!

[doganjo]

Maybe you should be teaching her things and getting her to help.

Hey Happy Larry - be happy    Your wife clearly wants to help in the garden but she can't read your mind so she's made some mistakes.  So include her - let her know what you are doing, what your plans are and find ways she can help.  There's no place for resentment and blame in a Happy Larry marriage

Awwh bless her little green wellies 

Remember if you show her what to do; you may fall into the catagory of telling her what to do  Complex indeed  Buy her some flowers, without the green fly

doganjo,were not married i have been teaching her how to cook for the last 11 years but she still manages to cock that up
sandy,never mind the big picture,a few plants they may HAVE been but they where MY plants,i dont interfere with her house work or ironing    .If i threw the plant her mother brought her she wouldnt be happy,as for reasons everything i do has a reason to it,she just has a whim and dosent think,it wasnt that she wanted to spend time with me,i asked her the day before she struck if she wanted to help me pick the peas.
fleecewife,she only wants to help when it suits her,to be honest i would rather she left the plot to me.I did say to her i would spray the black fly on the artichoke so she knew it was a job in hand.
cobra,as for awwh bless her little green wellies,i felt like kicking her fat ass no chance of any flowers either i put a bunch of nettles in her vase 

[Sandy]

Errrrrr will she be reading this  If Yes, some one may be on the sofa for a while

[little blue]

steady on ... if this is "happy larry"  I'd hate to see him cross!

[happy larry]

I know i didnt paint a good picture of her and a few things i said in jest,now to put things into perspective shes as good as gold,the most kindest thoughtful person i have ever known,she worships the ground i walk on.Its just the interfering that bugs me,she cleans for a local pensioner and has been barred from touching the plants in this garden also.Right im off to bin her chockie buscuits lol.

[doganjo]

I had a feeling this was the case    Just you go and drop "HER" iron, so she can't do "Her" ironing any more.  Then go about in wrinkly shirts and trousers

[Sandy]

Arrrrrrh My hubby interferes all the time but I love him to bits too 

[Hilarysmum]

Give her a bit of garden for her own, dig it over for her, so she doesnt have to start from scratch then she can be happy doing her own thing and you can do yours.

She could be worse, -  we have Hilary the real "gardeners friend"

[Sandy]

Arh, I get it now, she's like my hubby, only interested in  your stuff, my OH has loads of old things but always wants to throw mine out, cut down trees I love, moaned about my ducks, anything that goes wrong is my fault. He truns the TV over when I am watching something, turns off the cooker, dryer, washing machine, when I am waiting for them, washes up things I am using and throws away magazines or reads mine before I have 
He is also the worst back seat driver as when I do need directions and approaching a junction, I will say " which way?" and he goes quiet!!!!!!!!!! then I take the wrong turn, so I bought a SAT NV and I picked him up from the station as I know where that is but then went to collect a TV from some ones house, so put the code in SAT NV at the station, set off, he was telling me something, then the SAT NV said "go right" he said "go left" so I went left and nearly crashed into another car comming around the roundabout!! that just illustrates when some one interferes that much, they take over your brain!!!!! Maybe its just ME
