| Our herb garden |
If your child enjoys gardening why not try out a herb garden. It's a great way to get into the gardening scene as the herbs grow easily and it's cheap and easy to do and the herbs make for a delicious addition to any meal.
Today we decided we would get ours going.
Yesterday when we were out at the park we passed by the garden centre and got a small bag of compost and three packets of seeds. The grand total being R$7,35 (roughly £2.60). The seeds we chose were basil, coriander and parsley. We had an old bucket at home which we converted into a planter so that was one extra cost we managed to avoid (do have a good look around your house before buying expensive plastic garden pots - it's amazing what can become a herb garden!) |

| Watering the herbs |
I left my son to put large stones at the bottom of our bucket which he really enjoyed then he spent about 20 minutes scooping the compost into the bucket. At this point he lost interest so I did the actual planting but he was game to water them afterwards.
Now we just water, watch and wait. Keep a look out for our photo updates here and on Facebook.
