Spent a glorious week in Boston with my grandchildren and much to my delight, the older boy is interested in gardening! We visited nurseries where, like a true dirt-bunny, he wanted everything he saw.
Together we planted a David Austin rose ‘Teasing Georgia’, and started seeds. He choose very colourful Zinnias & some basil for his mom. I hope he does not over-water in his enthusiasm.
It is so satisfying to encourage a young person to discover the joys of the garden.
From my own experience, I remember the very first time I saw my grandmother pull a radish from the soil, I was shocked that it was not in a bunch!!

My grandmother had a green thumb, but I did not inherit it. ;o)
Hope everything grows well for you both!
My biggest thrill was pulling out the carrots from my mother’s vegetable garden. I still remember to this day!
Exciting times !!!

If he does start to over-water and such he has grandma to help guide him. That is another reason for grandmamas! Great projects for the children. 🙂
Priceless! Glad to see his gardener’s hat & gloves…smart boy 🙂
What a wonderful experience for the both of you!!
My grandmother’s (old) garden remains one of my main inspiration, and I’ve learnt loads from her (both directly and indirectly through my mother). Grandmothers are good to have; even though mine is now nearly 90 and doesn’t do much garden work herself any more. (She’s paying a young whipper-snapper of a septuagenarian to mow her lawn and weed her flowerbeds for her.)
Anyway, thanks for reminding me that it’s really been too long since I called my grandmother. I’ll go do that now!
