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.
They will learn how plants grow every day. Wonderful!
Such a careful job they're doing, too.
I 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. :-)
I think it's great to get children involved with gardening, plus showing them where their food comes from.
Isn't it lovely to hand down the old knowledge!
Working and playing in the backyard. Is there any greater gift we can give. Wonderful fun together.
The will and they are so interested, Tomoko.
They were careful, not wanting to give too much water to any one plant.
They need to learn to respect nature at an early age I think. Knowing how to grow food is part of it!
I agree, Ann.
It really is, Debra.
It is great, Barbara. Nothing like dirty hands on little ones, dirt from the garden especially.
How lovely. For them, and for you.
Gardening is heart-balm. And solace for the soul.
It truly is! Its a life long skill and hobby too.
It is lovely to see the young gardening and helping to grow flowers and vegetables. Sarah x
It will give them somehing to look forward to when they visit, that's for sure.
