When the grand-girls visited last week, we planted cucumbers, leeks, green onions and herbs in the garden box. Now they have plants to water each time they visit.
The girls love cucumbers and they are looking forward to picking and eating them.
Over one hundred years separate my grandparents and their great great granddaughters. However, I know Gus and Monnie would be pleased their descendants are learning to grow food.
Lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteThey will learn how plants grow every day. Wonderful!
The will and they are so interested, Tomoko.
DeleteSuch a careful job they're doing, too.
ReplyDeleteThey were careful, not wanting to give too much water to any one plant.
DeleteI know just how they feel. I was a young gardener once, too, and it was only a few years ago. I wish I had started early like them. :-)
ReplyDeleteThey need to learn to respect nature at an early age I think. Knowing how to grow food is part of it!
DeleteI think it's great to get children involved with gardening, plus showing them where their food comes from.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Ann.
DeleteIsn't it lovely to hand down the old knowledge!
ReplyDeleteIt really is, Debra.
DeleteWorking and playing in the backyard. Is there any greater gift we can give. Wonderful fun together.
ReplyDeleteIt is great, Barbara. Nothing like dirty hands on little ones, dirt from the garden especially.
DeleteHow lovely. For them, and for you.
ReplyDeleteGardening is heart-balm. And solace for the soul.
It truly is! Its a life long skill and hobby too.
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely to see the young gardening and helping to grow flowers and vegetables. Sarah x
ReplyDeleteIt will give them somehing to look forward to when they visit, that's for sure.
