Mummy, I'm in the carrot aisle!

When collecting and harvesting, my son likes to get right into it. Today he was squeezing between the corn rows and poking his hands through to the carrots, reaching for tomatoes and searching for herbs. I love the way he was commentating his pathway through the garden as though he was out shopping and wandering up and down the aisles. My garden isn't quite big enough to supply all of our fresh produce needs, but it's great that he sees it as the place to get food.

Although he is now stamping through the too-long grass, waving his 'carrot sword' around and slicing down all of the dandelion heads, complete with sound effects. It's a charmed life in the garden!
