Trucks in the Garden
So I garden, A LOT. I have 18 beds approximately 10x5. I grow a ton
of food and preserve most of what we don't eat right away, and the rest
of it we give away. But more of that to come.
In the
spring we spend many hours in the garden and although the kids do help
plant and pull weeds, I try to find other activities for them to do so
they do not get bored.
While the deer fence keeps them in
the garden, it also makes it so I have to bring everything out to with
us, water, toys, gardening stuff, and with a toddler that is not the
easiest task. So, i load Gav and everything else into a wheel barrow and
drive them out.
After we settled in the garden I pull out
their toys. Today it was trucks-diggers, a big dump truck, as well as
the small shovels and rakes for them to use.
Ty looked for potato bugs to give rides and Gav dug in the dirt before helping me cover up the potatoes.
Really,
if it is not a cloth toy, bring it out to the garden. You can always
wash them down after and it makes outside time a little more fun!
