Gwen Stefani has opened up about her first year of marriage to country singer Blake Shelton.<br /><br />She was appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about her new makeup line, but all the 52-year-old songbird did was gush about her husband of nine months and how she’d left him “tilling the soil” on their Oklahoma ranch.<br /><br />“He’s literally on the tractor turning the dirt for me when I get there,” she said. “We’re doing major gardening.” <br /><br />“We’re talking about daffodils, we’re talking about like tulips. We did all the bulbs, now we’re doing wildflower seeds, now we’re doing xenias.”<br /><br />Turns out she’s making use of the word “we” rather loosely. Seems it’s Gwen who’s giving the orders and Blake who’s doing the dirty work.<br /><br />“I sent him home to figure out how to till all the land and dig a well,” Gwen said gleefully.<br /><br />When Ellen asked if he has any help, she quipped “just one guy”. Apparently Blake (45) doesn’t mind just getting stuck in and doing all the work himself.<br />Gwen jokingly added she “likes it a lot when people do things for me” as she’s from Anaheim in California “and I’m lazy like that, but he actually likes to do it himself.” <br /><br />However it’s clear she’s besotted with Blake, who she wed last July on their ranch.
