Nearly a year has passed since my granddaughter first ventured into the basil patch, and now, on the cusp of two, she is mobile and decisive. It’s June, and in Connecticut that means ripening strawberries, so we gave her a colander and sent her into the berry bed to pick. She loved what she found. Is there a better way to interest kids in gardening?

What sweet pictures. She is so cute, and the look on her face when she puts the strawberry in her mouth is priceless!
What a precious little girl!!!Thanks for sharing her with us.
As a child I used to love to visit my grandparents in AR. They had a huge garden out back and I was free to pick and eat as many strawberries as my tummy could hold. Your granddaughter will remember these special moments, lucky little girl!
