do you think i am growing too much

[ChocCosmos]

I've even got my 8 year old nephew coming everyday (he only lives across the road) saying to me is it time to plant, like we did last year, he loved it over the 6 weeks holidays helping me, and at the end he had a book that he had to write about what he did for the whole of the 6 week holiday. so i helped him cos he spend most of it with me in the garden.
So we put it in all about the seeds and when they germinated and when they grew and when he could eat what we had grown. He drew pictures and wrote about it all and when he went back to school and handed it in he got a certificate because it was the best they had ever seen and they regaularly ask him what he's growing with his auntie.

so it gives me so much pleasure that i can pass on to him what i have learnt and hopefully he will contuine with it when he's older

That's lovely, capture them young!

It's exactly what I would like to do with my niece's young son. I was looking after him one Saturday a couple of years ago and whilst on a walk, stopped and had a 'nosey' through the gates of our nearest allotment site. Before I knew it, they had invited us in and I had signed up for a plot He was only about 2 years old then and I no longer have the plot sadly but now he's a bit older, I would like him to learn about where food comes from and maybe it will entice him to eat some veg.

I was also thinking only yesterday of giving him a few sunflower seeds to grow in pots (they only have a yard) but knowing my niece, the plants wouldn't get watered!
