Cullen has said he wants to be a chef for quite some time now. He even imagines growing his own food. Each time we go to the store, he is facinated by the seed packets and wants to try it... so we gave it go. About a month ago, we planted romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes and cauliflower in a small garden made with cement blocks. He loved digging in the soil and watering them! Each day he checks on them. We taught him how to trim the leaves. A friend at work gave him a cup of worms to put in the garden and I had him research on the internet why we want worms. He is telling everyone about his garden, he is so proud! Inside the house, we started a few plants from seeds, peppers, strawberries, and carrots. The pepper plants are the only ones that have sprouted so far. This is really teaching him responsibility too! We are working on a compost now, saving egg shells, fruit and veggie trimmings and mixing them with dirt and soil to provide a nutrient rich soil for our worms and plants!
