My Garden ~ Peapicking grandson turns two

Life’s been busy since he came to live here last year. The garden’s full of discoveries – hedgehogs, water, animals and all sorts of things to pick and eat. 

  Driveway puddles are a natural hazard when you’re short-stuff.

 Neighbour’s pigs love my rejected cooked dinners. I take the pig bucket with my food scraps every day.

 Grandad just wouldn’t cope without my help. The electric fence is scary though.

 Cooking makes a boy hungry. I let Nana help me make banana cake and date scones.

 There’s gardening to do and peas to pick. Daddy really needs my help with his new raised garden.

 Sweetcorn is the new peas (Nana’s note: what he doesn’t know is that more peas are busy sprouting in secret places he doesn’t know about yet).  

 I’ve moved on from strawberry tasting. The grapevine is a good place to hang out this month. I’ll get Nana to pick bunches of pink, white and black grapes for my friends at my party.

 My friends at Playcentre are coming to my birthday party.
