I went to the shop earlier to pick up some stuff for the wife and when I got back my wife informed me that she had dropped the strawberry seeds that had just started germinating on the window sill.

How can she live with herself knowing she has murdered the first things I have started to grow???

Will I ever get over the heartache knowing my wife has murdered my babies??

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 

Rest in peace little strawberry's

Get used to it, big guy. It's only the first of many

All is not lost, Bill - is there any way you could salvage them?  If not, I'm sure you can start off some more soon.  You'll just have to find it in your heart to forgive your wife

Haven't we all dropped a seed tray?  Pick the wreckage up carefully and put it back together as best you can and mist it over. 

Most of the plantlets will survive.

I am in complete sympathy here as my husband is a wrecker of all things mine from seedlings to teapots to terracotta planters. Nothing is safe    I once potted up three tomato plants in their final pots and he severed their heads with one flick of the lawnmower cable. 

If I point things out to him that must be cherished I can guarantee it will be doomed

Is it better to have a destructive OH, or one who is not even interested enough to be destructive??  Mine's the latter!  I proudly show him my lovingly cared for seedlings and he couldn't care less!
Which is a shame because I could do with some help on the allotment!

[compostqueen]

I get no help either but I've got used to it. He's such a klutz so I'm quite relieved 

It is good to have hobbies to share but you can't have everything I suppose. It makes you envy other folks who share cooking and enjoy being in the kitchen together or working together on the plot.  We plough a lonely furrow

It's the cat in our house! Seed Trays are not indoor toilets

I don't have this problem. Luckily OH is toilet trained and Ted the cat is too old to jump up!!!

Our Dog Murphy loves Veg, any type of Veg he will eat them all.
I have my Maincrop Desiree chitting in the garage, when the other day he came into the house eating something, I didn't really take too much notice but then he came in again. So this time I checked and yes he was happily munching through my Seed Pots one at a time.

Thankfully he only got two and I have plenty to plant.

Here is the blighter with our Cat, trying to look all innocent.

I presume from their comfortable chair that they have you trained to sit on the floor!!

my husband is also hopeless, he pulls up plants (usually precious things) whilst weeding, carries them to where I am and says 'is this a weed?'

My first batch of tomatoes were growing on nicely, in their individual pots, on the top shelve of the greenhouse. I reached up to take the tray down, hit the bar holding the shelve up and the whole lot went crashing to the floor. I stood there looking at the mess for awhile,  then walked out, shut the greenhouse door, went indoors and did not go near the greenhouse again that day. I felt a bit better about starting all over again the next day.

I've just picked up from the floor 3 pots which had had leek seeds sowed in them, they'd fallen over in the little plastic greenhouse (to be fair it's the first casualties I've had in there in years).

Put some more seeds in them and topped them up.  Goodness only knows which variety of leeks will eventually germinate

Your doggy looks totally innocent of all charges    Sure it wasn't the cat 

Daisy - that sounds very familiar 

It's heartbreaking when you lose a tray of seedlings isn't it. When all you've worked for and nurtured comes crashing down either because of the cat, the wind, the ramshackle staging or just precariously balanced trays.  We've all been there but it never gets any easier

We will still do it all again next year though
