Kinder Gardens - Let Them Get Dirty!

The boys are very involved in our vegie patch,

but they just cant help creating their own little plots.

They find containers, a bit of compost and raid the

seeds we saved at the end of summer.

This one has corriander, lettuce and some sad broccoli.

I use this little plot when cooking and they feel very important

when I ask them to go out and pick some goodies

for the kitchen.

These little pots pop up all over the place.

I don't mind, there is worse things they could be doing.

The first born has taken it 1 step further,

he has taken some to school to grow with his mates.

It was all his idea, they have planted

corriander, lettuce and parsley.

(mine is the second from the left)

Even better - It only took a week for the seeds to shoot.

I have also started a group over on Facebook

We Grow Our Own Veggies

where we can all post obout our patches,

swap pest control idea's, seeds,

tell us what you are planting now,

how you use/preserve your harvest

and so on,

it does not matter whether you plant in a pot or a paddock,

pop on over.
