Evas First day at the Allotment

We have had a good day down on the allotment, glorious sunshine, both Eva and I were out in t-shirts and sunhats. Eva loved every minute of it.

We were up at normal time and had finished breakfast by 8am, mummy was at work so we sat down to watch some cbeebies and a coffee, during which time Eva pestered me wanting to get going to the allotment, not at all interested in what was on the tv, not unusual for Eva but she was very excited.

We took a drink and a snack along with Evas wheel barrow which was her uncle’s when he was a boy, her spade and her kneeling mat that her Grandma and Granddad bought her for her 2nd birthday last week.

As soon as we got to the allotment Eva started digging, getting very excited, she took to the whole thing as if it were the most natural thing in the world. She helped me with planting some potatoes, carrots and onions an digging the soil.

We made great progress, I managed to get two rows of potatoes planted, two rows of carrots sowed, three rows of onions, two red and one white.

We will be going to the allotment tomorrow morning again, just so that mummy can see how excited she gets.

I will post two videos of the progress once they have uploaded to my YouTube channel
