Quinlan was willing to help pot the seedlings that we acquired as long as he didn't have to wear shoes. Momma was lucky enough to be gifted herbs and tomato seedlings from her boys for Mother's Day, and some lettuce, Brussel sprouts, spinach and more tomatoes from her old roommate Alex and his wife Erica.
Good thing Quinlan was able to help get them all in pots. I'll bet Q also will be good at eating the food they produce!
Our course, Quinlan prefers to just take rocks in and out of the pots versus planting actual plants. The clothespins in the empty bleach bottle are also a very fun play thing.
He takes each one out and instructs momma as to wear they should be placed on the line. He has also been known to help hand clothespins to momma while hanging laundry.
The back porch has already become a favorite play area.
A few days later when we were out on the porch again, Quinlan was moving rocks back and forth between pots. Dumping some out. Arranging some with dirt. When asked what he was doing, he responded, "Cooking."
"What are you cooking?"
"Food."
"What kind of food?"
"Rock food. Yummy."
