I have been battling the brambles that grow over from next door & feeling very fed up,not to mention cut to pieces by the blasted things. I wondered what problems everyone else has to contend with & what they hate doing most.
In a world where you can be anything, always be kind.

Brambles, tree seedlings, especially holly ones.
that tiny purple leafed clover with the yellow flowers. ggrrrr
Any and every weed that grows happily while my treasures are currently struggling with a year long drought. We've had about 4" of rain since the new year and it's not enough even for established plants.
Slugs / snails ? ?
I hate edging the lawn - can't find a tool that doesn't involve bending, either to trim or pick up the bits.
I only edge the front bits as the back has a 'less formal' style.
Bindweed slowly strangling some of my perennials ; have a large border with a hedge full of it behind , so can't spray !
Wellies. They don't bother me so much as the Achilles tendon on my left heel.
Ow!
Weeds!
Big ones, small ones, those that pop up when your back is turned and generally every genre of weed known to primeval man!
What I hate is how my garden always looks scruffy and unkempt compared with all my neighbours', when they don't appear to put in any more time and effort than I do.
mowing the lawn. so boring
