Each year I plant a number of vegetables and always try to get my eldest daughter involved. This picture is of a freshly germinated tomato plant. Helen and I planted them just a couple of weeks back and with the turn in the weather, they’re all starting to germinate.
I wouldn’t claim to be a very good gardener, but I get a reasonable crop of tomatoes and carrots each year. Last year we also had Brussels sprouts and some sunflowers.
I always try to get Helen to help me and she’s usually very keen. I think it’s important she (and when she’s older enough her sister) understand where food comes from. Might be something to do with my farming heritage and being a country boy in exile!

Fingers crossed it turns into a ripe tomato plant
Yay! So nice to see signs of spring and things growing! x
We always love planting vegetables, not tomatoes as I’m the only one who eats them.
Thank you for linking up
This reminds me….
Need to plant mine. 🙂
It’s so lovely to see signs of spring 🙂
Oh wow how exciting! We’d love to grow vegetables, especially tomatoes, but just haven’t got round to it yet. Will be great seeing these grow and being able to eat your own crop 🙂
