Hi am I the only one who apologises to plants when they have to be dug up. I spent the weekend digging compost an horse muck into my raised beds ready for the peas, I had to dig up a fair few calendula seedlings as I was doing it. I had already rescued about 20 of these, and have down another 40ish. I just don't have room for any more. I found myself saying sorry every time I dug up a seedling

Welcome to the nutters club
Edit: I don't have much of an issue getting rid of mature plants that have had a life but I do struggle with seedlings. I have a buddleia (sp?) hedge grown from seedlings rescued from the gravel drive, I still have a purple toadflax that appeared several years ago, I have a juniper and cotoneaster seedling in pots that I have no idea where they will go and I feel bad murdering the sycamore seedlings but realistically I have no homes for themLast edited by Norfolkgrey; 03-05-2016, 05:11 AM.

You're perfectly normal. Apologising to plants is just good manners

It depends on the plant. Last night, I hacked down a lot of wild grasses with absolute joy (the seed heads get in the dogs' ears: painful for them and costly for us at the vet's) but I apologise to all the wild poppies and camomile that come up. As for my seedlings, I always sow more brassica seeds per module than I want, but I'm terrible at getting rid of the surplus and leave them all far too long.

Reply to Hedge nightmare.....I kid you not!by Ger-annie-umThis photo doesn't really show the extent of the problem. You can see where the hole is and everything to the left has to be taken out. The pole carries electrical and telephone wires1 PhotoToday, 07:43 PM
