If you are given the option of choosing one of these three gardening chores,which one would it be? #1-weeding(by hand) #2-raking #3-mowing(push mower) I would choose weeding, because I would be able to sit down! Which one would you choose?

Well let me see... I use the lawn mower, then rake the grass clippings and put them in the garden so I don't have to weed. Weeding is my last choice on the list. I always seem to get blisters on my hands when I rake. Doesn't matter if I have gloves on or not--I still get blisters. I guess I'll go with mowing. It's great exercise, and it only takes 30 min. to do our yard. :)

Darn them blisters! I live in a hot,humid climate,too. I hate having to do any kind of yard work in the summer time here.

Seeing that in my home i do all three do i really have to choose . Well i suppose i would choose the raking because that is the final job to the gardening once that is done the job is complete you can see what a great job you have done .In my case it`s the only time the yard is really tidy because not long after the kids will be back out kicking balls and leaving all their gear all over the yard .

Yeah, but doesn't it make you feel good just knowing that the kids have a nice,tidy yard to play ball on?

As long as the mower had a motor and wasn't totally manual, I would choose mowing. I hate weeding of any kind and you can tell that when you look at my garden. Raking would be my choice if the mower was totally manual. I enjoy both of those tasks for a short time.

That's the key word...For a short time! I mainly like just being outside and enjoying life!
