We have done lots of seed sowing over the last few weeks with plenty more to do. The kids have been very involved and are very enthusiastic.
They help bring the seedlings outside every morning and bring them back in come evening as we start to harden them off and get them ready for a life outdoors.
I love teaching them and watching their interest grow. Finley has a book that he religiously reads and can tell us what space each veg needs and when we will be able to harvest it.
We had a melon for after dinner a couple of weeks ago, the kids got really excited about the number of seeds inside it, they wanted to plant them. So while I was doing the dishes the three of them scurried of getting pots, filling with compost and then planting them.
Madison who is four, asks every seed she plants to grow strong for us, she is convinced it makes a difference!
Well, it has certainly worked this time as this week we have seen the first signs of growth.
The kids are very excited, there was much screaming and shouting when they saw it, bless them.
Keeping our fingers crossed that they keep growing.
Get your kids involved, its so good for them on so many levels.
