To say I am annoyed is an understatement.


Why not share with someone who wants to do their fair share? Advertise at
a gardening club locally and I am sure someone will respond/
At least that way you could manage.

OMG this would set off a family disagreement. That's why it's difficult.


Why not adopt a style of gardening that doesn't require weeding. Ie
pick plants that are vigorous enough and tall enough to cope with
weeds. More trees and bushes than little carrots.


Because it's a vegetable garden to grow vegetables in? Vegetable seedlings almost always
require weeding, at leat in the earliest stages.

So choose ones that need little to none. Nettles, potatoes, pumpkin,
courgette etc


Jerusalem artichokes. Mine are ten foot high and no weeds!
