One of the great things about having a veggie garden and chickens is being able to share. We always take excess next door, or share with friends and relatives.
A couple of days ago my cousin & her son came over to visit. I hadn't spent much time with them since they moved back from Queensland so it was great catching up. Before they left we went out in the garden and picked veggies. Her son L said that he'd never picked veggies before & I think he really enjoyed it. He also liked feeding greens to the chickens, "If I was Stella I'd be doing this all the time"..,.hmmmm Stella little bit over it now.
Then I showed L how the chickens love worms. Digging up worms for the kids to feed to the chickens is great fun.
Veggie gardens are great for sharing & connecting to people.
Speaking of gardens this afternoon I went out to pick parsley & dill to make potatos salad...yummy
Sounds so lovely. I wish you could share with me too! HAHAHA
ReplyDeleteI also wish to have my own yard asap I want chickens and a vege garden so much!
Its great learning for the kids isn't it, getting them used to the idea that you can grow your own food and not everything needs to come from the supermarket or in packs. YAY for gardens!
Also great for getting dirty! So many kids don't get dirt these days. It's sounds kinda gross but allowing kids to play in dirt (& taste it etc) helps them to develop healthy gut flora (I'm not talking about dirty houses but yard play). This helps build immunity. Gardens & gardening are also very soothing so when angry stressed etc going out & sitting or spending time there is beneficial
