Its great to get kids involved in the garden. My grandson loves helping me. Love the carrots. I cant grow em to save my life.Comment

My dad involved me when I was knee high to a grasshopper and I've done the same with my own kids. My daughter has clearly done the same and it does show how much value there is in catching them young. For those of you who admire nice veg, you can see the entries on the bench at the National Vegetable Society Branch Championships at Dunfermline this last weekend here Scottish Branch Championships 2014 Photos by nvswebmaster | Photobucket.
Carrots are easy to grow in the right growing medium but it is vitally important to keep them covered with fleece or environmesh.
The cauliflower with the green card on page three are mine

That cauli looks nice Ap - would look even better with some cheese sauce
Your grandson's a lucky lad to have you around - wait 'til he grows bigger onions than you

Wow, what gorgeous veg! Well done with your caulis - makes my attempts (4 leaves and then they curl up and die) look extremely pathetic!
Good to see the youngsters getting involved. I will never forget the horror I felt when talking to a student in his early 20s who was bright enough to go to uni, but had no idea that fruit formed from flowers. I can't imagine not knowing that sort of thing - it was taught to me (as it should be) at primary school.A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory.
