Generally I prefer doing this
and this
but now I've got 2 1/4 acres with plenty of water to use I might be here a bit more often. Although part of the yard might be cleared for some 4wd fun.

G'day Phippsy, I see you're just up the road from me. I'm just outside of Gympie. We have a 4wd but mainly need it for the extra seating (need a 7 seater) but have used it around our block occasionally - comes in handy in the paddock. My OH wouldn't mind doing a bit of 4w driving though he is more into rallying but I'm the sort that doesn't like dirt roads 
What do you grow... or plan on growing on your block? Not much room on 21/4 acres if you want a 4wd track as well as a garden

G'day Phippsy and welcome. Good to see another male on this forum, to try and even up the numbers. Not that I have a problem with any of the lovely ladies on here either

Does that mean we can't pick on the male members anymore?

| The best thing about the yard so far is most of the work can be done with either a ride-on, chainsaw or match... |

 Sorry about the Phipsy that reply was for Ed you sneaked in before I posted my reply the Male neighbour at the back popped over to borrow that special Male in my life to help him put the downpipes on his new shed and I forget to click the post new reply button.
 kind of gardening is that the Male kind.. Our secret though there is a lot of that goes on in our back yard too..

Ride-on, chainsaw or match is my husbands idea of doing the gardening  especially the chainsaw!
To all our male members - we will try and be gentle with you all... most of the time
