It has been a hard week at work and you are all looking forward to a restful weekend spent pottering around the garden. Only one thing to get in the way - the children.
There is not a lot worse than the kids kicking their heels in boredom and pestering you to go to the burger bar, theme park or cinema whilst you only have your sights set on sowing the next vegetable crop or mowing the lawn.
Why not consider getting your kids involved and set them up with a little corner of the garden or vegetable patch so that they can be involved and learn at an early age about the fun that can be had watching and helping nature bear fruit or climax in a chaotic fusion of colours.
There are a number of things that can get them going. For example, this little starter set for growing Strawberries and tomatoes is excellent. Because it comes in a package it also feels personal to your child and boy do kids love presents as I am sure we all know.
Also, get your kids interested in the creepy crawlies that are essential to maintain a balanced eco-sytem, bug control and pollination around the garden and in the wild. The collect, learn and release set is ideal for your children to watch and understand insects before releasing them back into the garden again.
