There seems to be rather a lot of us with not-a-clue-about-gardening partners! Fortunately, mine won't venture past the garden table and chairs (which are just 2 meters from the door) because "gardens are full of biting and stinging things", so the vast majority of the garden is safe. It does mean I have to do absolutely everything, though.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
In the interests of balance, can we aim the abuse at partners rather than men It's a rather large subsection of society so tarring them all with the same brush in terms of gardening prowess is a bit harsh
Mine is completely uninterested. He'll help if asked, with things that need two pairs of hands or some extra muscle, but never unsupervised. I do the vast majority of the gardening myself, which means things get done my way whether that's right or wrong, and if wrong it's my own fault.

Actually @Biglad, I can’t see where anyone has been gender specific in their comments other than in respect of their own under gardeners, and if their own under gardener is not non-binary or gender fluid, it seems reasonable to use his or her preferred pronoun 😉
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Fair enough, d-fab. It was @Lyn's "these men" which prompted my tongue-in-cheek comment but, as ever, you're right on point (as I believe the younger folk like to say)
