The Gardeners



Mabel and Wilf.   

Wilf''s good at the big stuff.  He likes nothing better than to plug in his MP3 and getting digging and clearing.  He has a personal vendetta against dandelions and anything else with a deep tap root and can spot a sleeping slug at 50 paces.  He doesn't like the fiddly bits and hasn't ever deadheaded a flower in his life.

And me?  Well, really I'm in charge.  I have lots of the ideas, decide what we're going to grow and am keeper of the Garden Notebook.  I like the fiddly stuff, will potter around deadheading and hate gardening with gloves on.

We've been gardening together for 10 years now and we're coming into our fifth season in this garden.
