How do you think your H would deal with a Type 7 gardener wife like me? Someone who spends weeks making elaborate plans for a sunken garden bed based on something she read in a 18th century novel is so initially enthusiastic that she starts trying to dig the bed in the spring before the ground is completely thawed, is too impatient to bother figuring out whether the water lines might be in her way, is so involved in the project that she gives no care to her personal appearance and goes around covered with mud and twigs in hair and serves her family nothing but hotdogs and spaghetti for a month because she has no time to cook and blew the household budget on garden supplies. Also, the odds are only 50/50 that her mania will result in a beautiful sunken garden that will be the envy of all your neighbors because if her enthusiasm dies before the project is completed you will have nothing but a torn-up circle of lawn filled with weeds by August.
