My niece turned our shared balcony into a mini jungle

She came over last weekend and planted seeds from her school project in every pot we had. Now there are beans, sunflowers, and random flowers all mixed together. It's a bit wild, but she checks on them every day. How do you deal with family members who get super into your garden space?

You see this all the time with family. Like when my brother decided the garage was his own gym, or my aunt started keeping her craft stuff in the dining room. It's just what happens when people get into something. They don't mean to take over, but they do. Your niece's jungle is just the latest case. At least plants are better to look at than old workout gear.

My cousin turned our basement into a model train setup last year. It started with one table, but now there are tracks everywhere and little fake mountains. Like robertb30 said, people don't mean to take over, but hobbies just spread. What's the most taken over space you've seen?

Actually hart was talking about his cousin's train set, not a niece with plants. That was robert's story from earlier. But you're right about how hobbies spread without meaning to. My friend's dad filled their whole attic with radio gear, antennas hanging out the windows. Plants might seem nicer than old gym stuff until they drop leaves everywhere or need special lights.
