  My little girl (only 18 months) has taken to digging up the just germinating salad leaves from the pots around the garden.  Just caught her in the greenhouse in time making a bee line to the toms and chillies.

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 

Ditto - but at least he does not interfere! and ... he steers well away from my seedlings so no murder (yet!)

Deep breath taken this morning and I have checked the seedlings out of 6 pots we have 1 with 2 seedlings still poking through so I have sprayed all 6 pots now fingers crossed. And I have forgiven her.

Ah harmony is restored. Just keep them clean and tidy and well organised and then there'll be no cause for complaint. Taps foot

perhaps you could negotiate for 1 windowledge....rather than have none at all

My husband hates seed trays all over the place but he has to suffer as he won't put power to my greenhouse so I can't work in there of an evening or during the darker nights without a paraffin lamp. So I just bought the whole lot indoors and filled our new conservatory last year with loads of seed trays and pots.  I got a pasting table out and set that up in the middle of the room too    He was thrilled

Yep - its a common problem, a puppy I fostered took my tomato plants out of their pots and shook them to death by the roots then chomped the pots!!!  BONNIE!!!

Mr S regularly rotovated through crops on the plot even when I had pointed out where stuff was. Trouble was he  didn't really listen & then got carried away trying to get it all done as fast as possible so he could get gone until I hit in the idea of sticking canes in with a plastic bag tied to the top so he could see it.

And I have forgiven her.

I have been cold blooded murdering today!
I vowed not to pot up more than six tomato plants of each variety , it feels so wrong to bin perfect tomato seedlings but better to 'cull' now rather than later and waste more compost.
200% extra plants is a big enough safety margin..........isn`t it?

I lost all my herb seedlings to a blown over greenhouse, well i say blown over i still blame the kids who play rugby near our backyard!

was very very sad!

[rhysdad]

My four year old, Rhys, insisted on coming to the plot last night to 'help'. Three squashed shallot crowns and five squashed red baron onion sets later....... 

[simonwatson]

My 5 year old is pretty good at weeding the veg patch. Last year however my 3 year old (2 at the time) weeded out all but 4 of the sweetcorn. 'twas a sad day.

My OH last year hoed through the roots of my squash plants  - His answer he thought they were weeds.  My reply  -  have you ever seen weeds stretch over 8 foot in length with large round orange things attached
