Who helps you repot ?
 
Today my Fattailed gecko jazz "helped" me repot a few orchids,who helps you repot,water,ect. your cat,your bird,lizard. Just tryin to put together a list of "little helpers".

hehe - well my dog was always my helper with everything - had to make sure I did it right - now that she's gone, my cat supervises indoor watering. Tho he "helps" by asking to be picked up so he can see whats happening lol
And when he knows I am outside watering he scratches and meows behind the door, so then I end up stopping and bringing him outside for a bit. Such a good helper he is lol

Oh I WISH I had a helper! Maybe by the time my collection is big enough to justify a greenhouse (it's getting there...) I will have some little kiddies on hand that are willing to help; either my own, or some "borrowed" nieces & nephews. Makes me think of the old days when farmers used to have big families in order to have extra hands to help with the harvest. LOL

My guinea pig has appointed himself as helper. He's out and about whenever I'm home (only have a small studio apartment type place) and is impossible to keep away when I'm on the floor repotting. Some of my orchids have little bite sized chunks missing from their leaves!

Poshkitty helps by rounding up or hiding away any stray pieces of bark or leca that fall to the floor. I've found quite the collection behind the piano.

Jess, my whippet cross, positively disdains helping and goes off to sleep in a warm comfy place if I'm in the house, or persists in bringing her tennis ball to me if I'm in the shed

he he I have a turtle and if she were with me now she would be extremely curious to smell the bark and leca and taste the leafs.

:rofl: Magic!

Since my dog passed away, my only helper is my boyfriend - does he count? My dog would always sit, continually wag his tail and bark at, well, the bark actually (!) while I potted on the kitchen counter. My b/f just has strict instructions not to try and pass me things like phones, cups of tea, laundry etc. while I'm up to my eyes in bark dirt!

Pretty much the same here for me.

Other Helpers!?... er... nope.
Hubby is not exactly green of thumb.
The cat prefers to just meow at me, almost as if ordering me about... and it likes to paff me round the head when I'm trying to do things. No claws, just a swipe with his pad... Bizarre creature!

I have one little helper that I sometimes with wouldn't. My daughter is a wonderful little person, but sometimes "help" is relative to what she does.:rofl:

Gin 11-16-2010 09:42 AM

I have 2 helpers , Me , myself...... and I .. :)

Ha ha!!!

RosieC 11-17-2010 08:27 AM

That's really cool, what great helpers.

I don't have any pets, so hubby gets to help sometimes, but other than that it's just me.

florafan 11-17-2010 09:06 AM

I repot all my houseplants by my self since hubby & kids show absolutely no interest in gardening, indoor or out.

We don't know, - we call her mostly whippet because she looks almost pure whippet except that she's well built and retrieves, which apparently is unusual for whippets in general. She was a rescue, and we have had her for four years.

Your dog is lovely!
