Just been told plants are unhygienic!

What about any veggies with soil on??? Should we nuke 'em in the microwave for 10 minutes? :eek:

Oh dear, oh dear....
I have a positively unhygenic kitchen and back porch then :rolleyes:
:rotfl:

In fact my keyboard is gonna have to have some sort of anti bacterial formula shoved on it after I have finished typing here... as I am just in from the garden, faffing around potting stuff on, and haven't washed my hands yet :eek::eek::eek::eek::D

Maybe you should ask them how they come to this conclusion :A

my wife used to work in a kitchen in a private school and when they were inspected by the hygene people (can't remember proper name) they were told to remove all the plants from the kitchen. It cost them marks on their assessment.

My husband says one of his very elderly relatives used to say we all eat a pound of sh*t before we die!
:eek:

I don't think she meant it literally, just the odd bits of mud etc when we were kids etc.

I have plenty of plants in my kitchen. I haven't had a cold in years and never caught anything else, not even flu.

Have to agree,I just think things are way over the top nowadays.
Is it any wonder everyone has allergies these days when they don't allow themselves to be exposed to basic things.

They did have a BBQ not long ago (in the garden, with the filthy plants all around) :rotfl:

I think it's a case of too much education rather than not enough.

As it happens they are ill quite often so it may well be some nonsense instilled by parents which has led to their opinions.
