The Sweet Granddaughter turns four years old today! In the last few years she has become a wonderful gardening buddy...she loves to pull on her gardening gloves and say "Come on Nonna! Let's garden!"
 |
| Potting up pansies |
She is learning to 'settle the plants in the hole', 'tuck them in gently' and then water them with her little watering can. She has become adept at holding a handful of seeds and dropping them into the soil one at a time...an ability I still struggle with on occasion.

Last night when her mom was making the birthday cake for The Fairy Birthday Party today the Sweet-G proclaimed "I bet it will taste JARminalous!...that means SOOO great!"
 |
| Watering carnations |
She also likes to pick flowers, sometimes by almost pulling the plant out, and pick them apart to see what is inside. She loves to feel the different textures of the various leaves and make designs with the petals.
I am looking forward to our next gardening adventure...I'm sure it will be JARminalous!

She's a doll! What a wonderful gift you've given her, the gift of gardening. It's funny that she pulls carnations apart; I used to do the same thing when I was a kid. There's just something about those overblown, super-petaled blooms.
