The things kids say

[Greenleaves]

Grandson over today and wants to go over the allotment to plant some holes? Oh well looks like part of the plot will look like a moon scape later

[Nicos]

When our son was young I bought our son a tipper truck and a seaside bucket and spade from a car boot sale and he used to love playing with them on our lottie!
Yeh- we made sure his tetanus etc was up to date

My two have an area under a tree constantly digging
holes then they get covered with grass .
I'm always falling down them.
Worse than rabbits .

Our daughter used to dig bear traps in the garden she said they must have worked because it kept the bears away.

After digging holes everywhere he then decided to make dinosaur traps, got string lines all over, ended up with to other plot holders children joining in.....good job grandma was there to help....absolutely exhausted but smiling broadly

[Nicos]

Just as good as a day at the beach eh??

[Greenleaves]

Certainly Nicos, soil is a lot more fun than sand too

[Nicos]

..yeh!...you can grow more stuff in it...and it's full of worms and insects etc!
Might be nice to buy him a huge magnifying glass??

[Greenleaves]

Really good idea, thanks. He is fascinated by anything that crawls and wriggles.

Dont think grandma will look with him though!

Our daughter used to dig bear traps in the garden she said they must have worked because it kept the bears away.

That is the sort of logic I like.
Have used it a few times as well.

If he is going to plant holes are they ready germinated or can you tell me where to get the seeds.

Really good idea, thanks. He is fascinated by anything that crawls and wriggles.

Dont think grandma will look with him though!

Grandma won't need the magnifing glass, he will pick them up for her to see, really close to make it easier as well.

You can only buy PLUG plants Kirk

When our kids were small we bought a bug box, a clear plastic box the magnification on all 4 sides so they could get a good look at the bugs without their little hands squashing them by mistake.

Found a link so you know what I mean :-

Three Magnified Insect Boxes

Thanks Bren, will get get them ordered, to tell the truth I will be just as intrigued to look at them too

[Nicos]

remember to buy a bug book!

Is this where the term 'Little buggers' originated?
