Many of you know that Carter is my little tomato monster. Or as he likes to call them, matoes. He eats the little grape tomatoes like they are candy wanting them with breakfast, lunch & dinner. I have to buy the giant container of them at Sam's to keep up with him. Anyway, last weekend Home Depot had their veggie plants buy one get one free. We thought it would be fun to get some tomato plants for Carter.
Audrey enjoying the outdoors. She likes to carry around sticks and other treasures just like her big brother.
We also picked up some basil and oregano. Audrey pulled the oregano out of the pot and Carter was right there to fix it.
Carter really enjoys having jobs and taking care of things. I think he is going to have fun watching the plants grow and helping take care of them. He did a great job planting and watering them. We just put them in pots since our ground is rocks and clay. We'll see how they do.
Carter is trying to block Audrey from pulling on the plant while he waters it. He has been checking on his mato plants every day to see if they have grown. He's going to be so excited when they actually start producing some for him to pick.
great job getting him even more excited about his food -- and good luck getting Audrey to stay away from the plant (and the subsequent 'matoes it hopes to grow)! Last year we grew grape tomatoes and Gabe and Claire ate them like candy too. I couldn't believe how many they could eat in one playtime outside!
