What an opportunity to get out of the house, and into some fresh air and sunshine. Add a little exercise, some co-operation, some helpfulness. End up with a the pride of being helpful, the joy of family togetherness, a sense of accomplishment, and a basket full of carrots.
(and a fun way to get some dirt on your hands.)
Digging was easy, the weather co-operative. The little one picked the carrots and put them into the tricycle basket.
"OK, drive the carrots over the lawn to the patio."
"Thank you so much for being a big helper!"
And learn that carrots don't come from a plastic bag at the grocery store. Vegetables are good to eat, they taste good, and I helped to harvest them.
btw the title can be read "Do Children Care At All?"

I agree! Wish I could have been there.
How adorable! And I agree wholeheartedly with getting kids into the garden (I don't have any kids, but if I did they would sure be in there with me!)
Thanks also for your helpful comments re: aspen tree rooting at my blog - much appreciated.
That little girl pulling the trailer full of carrots is priceless. A great way to teach children about where food comes from. I grew up with this mentality. I am thankful my parents encouraged me like you are encouraging this youngster.
THanks for stopping by my blog.
