Our 2 1/2 year old son did the same. He was supposed to be picking radishes, which we planted in mass as a cover for other seeds coming up. When my wife turned around to see that he had picked several other plants - pumpkin starts for one, she about blew a gasket.

Her second planting of pumpkin seeds are now doing great, and our son is able to walk through the garden picking ripe tomatos or green beans - snacking on them as he goes - I think that's a pretty good way to raise a boy these days.
