Now we’re in September, we’re able to sit back and enjoy the veg garden.
It’s our first veg garden and it’s not gone as well as I had hoped but the boys have loved seeing the garden grow.
- They have watered the garden with the garden hose. The attachment was a lot of fun to turn it and get different strengths of water coming out. The plants always made a good recovery after the high pressure blast the little guy loved to use.
- Each morning they would go and check to see if anything was growing. They counted each new vegetable.
- They learnt that courgette and zucchini are the same thing.
- We all wondered why the cauliflower grew big leaves but a cauliflower the size of plum.
Here’s some pics of the boys picking veggies from the garden.

Connecting the food we have in the shops to what grows in the ground has been a lot of fun. Both boys are good vegetable eaters already but definately ate the courgette the time they picked it.


Not too many courgettes to make bread but enough to love it for dinner.
Lots of interesting discussion about food and growing food this summer.
