Never get my hands dirty.

Spouse is the gardener in the family. He takes care of the outdoor plants. I take care of the indoor.

Also, we have too small a plot of land to "share" and as much as I love the beauty of flowers, I've actually only grown indoor plants and vegetables outdoors. Trying to grow vegetables here would be fruitless (not to be punny) 'cos of all the prairie wildland creatures that have been driven into our area by development. They are hungry and will go to great lengths to eat whatever they can sink their little choppers into.

 A funny aside: Spouse got so frustrated with the bunnies, squirrels, prairie dogs (?) eating his plants before they could even fully grow, that he had a dream about buying poison peanuts at the garden store. He didn't realize that it was just a dream until he went to the garden store to try to procure such a product and the garden shop people reacted to his query as if he were nuts. ;)
