The house was built on a 850sqm block, but only small house, so everything is garden. My grandmother has always kept it impeccably, only problem is now she is 91, I am doing more of the gardening.
I don't mind, in fact I quite enjoy gardening, but as she had gardens in local gardening competitions going back 40+ years, I apparently dont do it well enough haha
Plus, she collects orchids and frangipanis (20 odd orchids, and 48 frangis ranging from newly planted to 25-30 years old.) In the past year, we have filled 5x council skip bins of garden refuse.
I try to get as much done as I can, so shes not out there trying to do it ( but she enjoys being outside so still does a lot - and will try to do too much). Last year one time I went to empty the mower catcher and I heard it rev up a bit - walked back to find she started mowing - said the mower cut well but was too heavy haha.
With big trees everywhere (lemon, orange, olive, magnolia, Ice cream bean tree, cocus palms) theres roots everywhere to get caught up in the tiller haha
