Kitchen Garden Forum

or weeing as my 2 year old calls it!
we spent the last 2 1/2 hours in our garden 'weeing' and collecting snails
lily was very excited by the ants, snails and collecting a tub of her own 'mine soil'
we both came home grubby to find daddy (supposed to be working)asleep on the spare bed!

Dear Jopsy, i love to see the enjoyment children get out of being in the garden, and helping with the work, a real pleasure.

I hope you took Roly a nice cup of tea and a slice of chocolate cake up, when you got back.

Visited our daughter at the weekend. They've recently acquired an allotment (completely covered in couch grass and raspberries!) 2-year-old grandson has his own patch with 'sturtiums' in, waters everything in sight, including the paths, and happily shows us parsnips, leeks and potatoes. It's wonderful.

Conrad's perennial question at the moment is 'Are they fat yet?'
He means the peas, which he's been told we can't pick until they're fat. So far his dad and I have had ONE PEA each! Conrad has scoffed the rest of the crop.
One year he ate the entire crop of blueberries almost single-handed.

Dear Jenny, nice to hear there's one youngster getting some fresh fruit and veg down him.

Shame about all the sprays you put on your crops though.

Grock asked why i'd planted my strawberries where I had, knowing her youngest daughters love of them. I'm not likley to see many She was found a few years ago, bum in the air, stuffing as many as she could get into her mouth. When she was asked if she was pinching strawberries, she shook her head quite firmly.

The puffed out cheeks, and strawberry juice down her chin gave her away.

She takes after her mum then Lizzie, how is Grock by the way, haven't seen her on here for such a long time.

The Grock is alive and well and kicking. Spoke to her a few nights ago. Grandchild Grocks birth is imminent (due 3 days ago). She's been a busy Grock and sends you her undivided love and affections

Aghh thats nice, hope your keeping well Lizzie, we haven't had one of your well written descriptions for a while Lizzie, maybe soon.

I wrote loads of stuff on the journey to Dublin, but I condensed it down and wrote it on another forum. I decided to do the whole thing, from a few days before we left to a few days after I returned. I'm quite proud of it. Twirly read it and said she really enjoyed it, but it was more of a personal thing really. It dealt with things that happend to someone else, and how the trust and belief in a person can lead to wonderful things beginning to happen. How, by one action being allowed to take place, a whole bunch of lives can be changed forever.

Who knows, I may be inspired again soon (she threatens while looking for pen and paper)

I have a rather beautiful Gertrude Gykell rose outside the house which could be written about.

Dear Lizzie, i'm sure you could make the dullest thing seem bright.

Sounds as if the other Forum gained and we lost out.

Jopsy, that sounds likes such fun.

Can't wait until my Nugget is big enough to get about on the plot. He loves going out, but can't even crawl yet so is still confined to his buggy.

He likes to pick things already and pulled a sunflower seedling up while I was opening a window in the greenhouse. Sign of things to come, I guess.
