1. Ask a four year what he wants to plant - he'll say CARROTS! and then insist on helping you plant those carrots. We now have 10 rows of carrots.....
--- not as bad as it sounds as we do raised beds and some of those rows are short. But it is five more rows than what I wanted to have.....
2. Use a toy as a row marker. Said four year boy will "plant" the marker in a completely different spot while chortling away. Leaving one wondering just where that row that you planted last was.....
3. Have a knife and box of potatoes ready to plant. When you are not looking, a four year will take said knife and said potatoes and you'll be looking at TINY pieces of potatoe to plant. Fortunately he will NOT do the whole box on you while you weren't looking. (did you know that four years can be VERY quiet when cutting up potatoes)? His comment will be "I'm helping you mommy!"
