Gardening with someone Under 2



       I have come to the conclusion when it comes to toddlers its more about the process then the end result if you focus on the product I think you will go Crazy.... especially with a Toddler though maybe that is the point of the post. We go through our lives just thinking about the end result and a Toddler is soo In the moment!! 

      As an adult this can be frustrating During the gardening my daughter some spilled all the sweet pea flower seeds and about half of the tomato seeds. Some Buckets of dirt were knocked over and the garden is not perfectly mulched or weeded. Here is Hoping that something grows, but even if nothing grows we had a great Time. My daughter enjoyed the sorting the buckets , scooping the dirt, burying the seed. I wish I would not have gotten so upset at times 

     honestly while gardening with a Toddler looks relaxing its anything but of activites I have done with a Toddler this was probably the most Taxing. I'll be honest Maybe if I knew more about gardening and knew what I was doing and was more confident that if you plant it it will grow ... 
I think they will grow I'll tell ya what happens but I mean think about it Some how for millenniums these things grew wild no one took care of them and they just grew ... No one helped Then Some how someone said well its not good enough and bred them to grow bigger and better and stronger and hardier ... So they should grow right If nothing else we will have Strawberries  : ) They seem to have transplanted nicely and are happy as far as I can tell ! : ) the daffodils are also Lovely 

    We have not finished all the planting all that we have done so far is strawberries, green beans, daffodils, morning glories, and tomatoes oh and my 5 salvaged sweet pea seeds -_- haha oh well there is humor in this right If nothing else My daughter will see at least one thing grow outta that group of things I just named they can't all fail 

    so go plant a seed of knowledge with your toddler if nothing grow but there knowledge and imagination well I guess learning was accomplished
