While I'm not THAT bad (wink) -- the 10yo did have a great "GOTCHA" moment on ,e back in about September. I asked her to go out to the "kitchen" garden and get me some parsley. She put her hands on her little hips and looked at me and stated matter-of-factly "Mommy, that is cilantro, not parsley out there." Danged if the little snippet wasn't correct..........
Cute story, Gabz.
My 12 year old son also knows his cilantro and basil because one of our dogs hates the smell. He knows he can get a rise out of Sparky and chases him around the yard with it.
You gotta keep an eye on that one at all times, don’t ya? She is a darling. :)
With my boys, it was like pulling teeth to get any help in the garden. And Husband? He’ll till for me, but then it’s, “See ya at Harvest...and at the dinner table!” LOL!
He just gets in the way, anyway.
This year, he’s supposedly having some big ‘tomato growing competition’ with his youngest brother who has just moved back to our state.
You know, heaven forfend that gardening should be FUN! It’s always competition with those guys. *Har-Upmph* :)
(I’m not sharing my recipe for Manure Tea with them. And of course, they won’t invite ME to compete with them; they know I’d win. *Snicker*)
