Thanks for sharing! I know I was one that asked recently.

It has definitely been a struggle. I should show a photo of our vegetable garden this summer...we were raising weeds! Somewhere in there we had volunteer sweet potatoes, an eggplant, ginormous/overripe cukes, and peppers that we had planted with good intentions in late spring. I couldn't keep up with it and the hub started an indoor project that left his focus elsewhere.

We did what we could and spent about four hours over two weekends cleaning it up back in September. Now we are refocused for winter gardening. I did bring the playpen out which kept the 1 year old busy for a little awhile, but yes, i did have to refocus and go in with him.

I love my Ergo but have never been able to keep the kid happy in it while bending down. It has worked great for hiking, not so much for gardening.

Thank you so much for doing this podcast! I look forward to the time when everything he sees isn't 'food' so he can play in the dirt while we pull weeds or whatnot.

It is just good to know that I'm not alone!
