Gardening With the Grands
This year I decided to start a vegetable garden. My initial intention was only to try my luck with luffa gourds but that grew into birdhouse gourds other vegetables.
I have carrots (which some critters ate all the tops off), cabbage, tomatoes, onions, corn, red skinned potatoes, white potatoes & sweet potatoes, peas, string beans and watermelon.
I am finding that gardening is more work than I thought but I do enjoy it. Another time for some peace of mind.
Arai has been asking to help in the garden so I got him and my other grand-kids, his friends, (all the little kids call me mom-mom) to help plant some corn seedlings.
My peas have begun to bloom
More images to follow in the coming days.
Thanks for visiting!

Love the article Robin. Gardening is especially educational when you have your grandchildren helping and asking you the type of questions you never even imagined. One questioned I had was: “where do the earth worms go ?” Never thought of that one.

Thank you for this post! This brought me back to when I was in the garden with my Grandmother. I thought it was so special as to what she was able to do in the garden! I too now have the love of gardening! This is something that your grand children will always remember you and all you have done. Stay blessed and happy Robin!
