The Mister has made lots of progress with our mini garden redesign, we've moved E's play house & sandpit to the opposite side of the garden and he has created a play area especially for her which she is absolutely delighted with. We also now finally have a rotary washing line up out there (so I don't have to keep dragging the airer outside every five minutes) complete with barked area, which leads along the side of the house to our new memory garden.

We helped him find his way to the back of the garden, when he apparently remembered the way he'd came in and hopped back off under the fence to the pond in the garden behind ours.

E received a Disney Princess egg for Easter which came with a little bucket, she decided that she wanted to use it to plant her sunflowers so we made some drainage holes and she's planted them up and put them out in the greenhouse to grow them on.
To their absolute delight, the fruits of their labour are now being made apparent as the flowers bloom, and their seeds and bulbs begin to reach skywards - they are so excited to have spotted the beginnings of shoots and H & E are very happy little gardeners indeed.
The garden is really shaping up well and the children are finding their gardening efforts rewarding - which all adds up to some great outdoor fun. Thanks for linking up and sharing with Country Kids.

ReplyDeleteSo good to kids getting involved in the garden, there's a big bit of me that worries that so many children aren't learning about these things growing up anymore.

ReplyDeleteHow great to see the kids really enjoying the garden and see their seedlings come up. That frog is rather impressive!
ReplyDeleteOhhh froggie! He was well hidden. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIts great when kids enjoy gardening, mine seem to have become bored of it.
Your new garden design sounds as if it gives a little part of the garden to everyone. Nice design. Hope you carry on enjoying it. I have a soft spot for toads, so am always thrilled to find one. I'm sure he'll be back. #CountryKids
