Beginner Gardening
A sneak peek into my day gardening with my kids. Obviously with a baby we can only be outside for so long. We get out when we can to tend to it as often as possible. With all the rain we’ve barely had to water this season. We’ve definitely learned with this experience. But to say it’s our first year hear I’m pretty proud of our mini harvest. It’s also a great activity to keep my toddler interested and engaged. #beginner #lemon8diarychallenge #sahm #toddlersgardening #rain
Gardening can be a wonderful bonding experience for families, especially when involving children in the process. It not only allows parents to teach kids about nature but also provides them with hands-on activities that enhance their curiosity and interest in the environment. Many parents find that gardening with toddlers is a fantastic way to help them develop motor skills as they learn to plant seeds, water plants, and even harvest the ripe produce. Engaging with nature is also known to have therapeutic benefits, not only for children but for parents too, adding to the overall wellness of the family. This year has been particularly unique as the weather plays a crucial role in gardening success. The abundant rain can be both a blessing and a challenge, easing the need for watering but bringing about its own set of issues like pest management or soggy soil. Beginners can find joy in sharing their harvest stories, planting discoveries, and daily routines that keep children engaged. For those looking to start their gardening journey, consider starting with easy-to-grow plants, such as herbs or vegetables like basil and eggplant, which can be rewarding and useful in the kitchen. Sharing experiences in online communities can provide beginners with tips to navigate common issues and celebrate milestones together.
