I'm with Chloe - much as I like lambs, I prefer calves and cows :-) I'm looking forward to Harry's blogpost from Balmoral.

Fantastic idea! Biscuits, otters, sharks, sea-horses and obstacles, what more could a Little Trekkers ask for?

Inspired by the garden pursuits of 'Squid & Me', we have decided to try and grow tomatoes in our Little Trekkers post bag. This time we read the labels very carefully in the garden centre so that we were sure we had tomato plants and not chillies!

Despite only being 18 months, Arlo was definitely up to the challenge. OK, so quite a lot of the soil missed the bag, he drank water from the watering can and pulled a leaf off one of the plants (apparently they don't taste nice!), but we got there in the end and we had great fun.

Digging in the growbag

We water them (and ourselves) every day when we get home from nursery.

Here's hoping he overcomes his irrational hatred of tomatoes by the time they're grown! If not, I'm sure I can find a spot for them ;-)
