The little kids across the street often ask if they can come pick a carrot. And I say yes, of course! I love watching their eyes light up as they learn little things about how food grows. The roots pull the nourishment in, the worms make it crumbly and richer…
I was weeding today and the young’uns came over. I decided today, we strike a deal. No more of this “giving away carrots” business.
“How about this- we make a trade.” They were intrigued. ”You pull fifteen weeds, I trade you a carrot for your work. It says in the Bible that a worker earns his wages.” They were overjoyed. I got some weeds pulled, they earned some carrots.
How many lessons can a garden teach? New ones every day.
I LOVE this Katy! Great idea! I’ll have to use that one when I have kids
beautiful
i have learned as much in the garden as in the pew… love them both.
