Chalkboard Garden Stakes and Toadstools


I had quite a lot of fun with my 2 little boys planting some new herbs in our garden on the weekend. Too much fun in fact, to take any photos of the 2 of them up to their elbows in dirt and mud. Apparently, little boys love digging in dirt - who knew?! :)



My 3 year old was especially excited when we bought some cute little chalkboard garden stakes to label our herbs with. We bought them at one of our favourite coffee shops, Favourite Things, which is stocked full of - well favourite things. My mum actually bought us the cute red toadstools in the same shop a few months ago. We go to this cafe on Tuesdays either before or after the boys music classes and I think my son is of the opinion that they "make the BEST baby-ccino's" as they come with a chocolate coated snake.


Hopefully this lot of herbs survive a little better than the last lot which suffered from too much water as I had planted them in what was previously a fish pond. I didn't really think through the drainage issue very well. This time we planted the herbs is pots resting in the space that used to be a fish pond.








I am looking forward to having Noah and Beau help me water and care for these herbs and especially the spinach which Noah is super excited to eat!

What do you love planting and/or eating from your garden?
