I know the feeling. Last year my young children helped me plant sunflower seeds along our privacy fence. When they were 4-5 inches tall my husband used the weedeater to “trim” the “weeds”. He didn’t notice the “weeds” were perfectly spaced, and happened to be the only weeds in the area. Ugg. He is no longer allowed to use the weedeater anywhere other than immediately adjancent to the grass.
Sometimes I think husbands do those things just so that they won’t be asked to keep doing them. (Mine pulled up all my chrysanthemums one time.)
The husband of a friend of mine sprayed deer repellent on all of her garden — especially the hostas. The “deer repellent” happened to be Round Up. Need I say more?
LOL! Oh, thank you for those stories! It brightens my day to know that others have the same kind of luck I’m having. Ha!
Did I mention that this is the same child that took his 2 year old brother to the garden beds with their diggers and dump trucks and took care of what would have been carrots. I’m going to try to find a spot for those in a container or something that they can’t get to.
It’s a good thing we’re looking at this first year as practice. I’m sure learning a few things! Like I really need to put up a gate that prevents the boys from getting in! :0)
