Chore Games: Plant or Weed?

Ok - everyone can try this game. It'll add some spice to the mundane.
Rules: Let flowerbed go unweeded for an extended period of time. For example, 6 weeks. The game actually commences when your spouse pulls the "big weeds." (We had one threatening to eat a window)

Layer self with bug spray/lotion. Commence weeding.

Scoring:

• Give yourself 1 point for every weed you pull
• Subtract 5 points for every plant you pull (oops)
• Give yourself back ten (10) points for every plant you find your spouse has pulled (made some good points this way)
• Subtract 10 points for every bug bite you incur

At the end, do you have a positive total? I didn't, and I pulled a LOT of weeds.
