Ahh. If I had to view a garden as ladylike, I would do so because of all the pretty flowers

In places like Rivendell we don't even know where the food comes from.

*Peers* You're right! I never thought of that before. They can't be living on fruits and cheese!

I might view it a certain way because I have a very confused / mixed-cultured understanding of all this. Someone else, who read slightly different books or spoke to different people, might see it as the opposite.

Indeed, I know quite a few places where farming is both a woman's and a man's job and where gardening is completely a man's job
