I thought it was time to introduce Thomas,to the joys of gardening,when we had him ,last Friday afternoon..so are you ready,my boy ?

No point in hiding..I can see you ..

Am I allowed in here now,Grandma ? ..


“Lots of things in here…looks exciting..but can’t reach anything.! there must be a reason…

My new pot..bought when we met up with Carole and Harry,the day before..

So, Thomas.. what do you suggest…some drainage first ?

Good boy,although I will need a bit more than that..

Time for a cool drink,it is so warm today..

Thank you for your help,..Grandad,your’e fired !
Thomas ,you are through to the next round..:o)

Oh Bloomer you should of let him fill the pot with compost - nothing wrong with some real messy fun - but I'm sure he enjoyed spending every minute with you.

22 Jul, 2011

 

I agree,Kfunsters..but he had his 'going out' clothes on..for later on that day..:o)

Thanks Lou,that is my idea..train em early .Lol.Went to a garden centre with him this morning,as they have a fenced off lawn area complete with goal posts and balls..didn't have time to look for any plants.!..:o))

Thank you Cinders..he does take some watching now..we had him all day..and peace now reigns! Lol.

Cheers Pixi..lots of gardening pressies to come,no doubt..he has a little watering can..so I make sure he has plenty of spare clothes..:o)

Thank you Hywel..he is full of it,and not scared of trying anything..just as a boy should be..my heart is in my mouth sometimes,as he is only 15 months yet!

Thanks Alex..always happy and smiling..a real pleasure
to us..:o)

He has that look a lot,Shirley..He had his eye on my Orchid today..but I watched him like a hawk..he certainly has plenty of character...Lol.

thanks Amy,he is growing so fast..and such a strong little guy..guess its because he loves his food..not turned his nose up at anything so far !

Thanks Pamg,that would be something wouldn't it ? Lol.

Thank you Stroller..Grandchildren are very special..:o)
