If You Give a Kid a Hoe...

Since Mr. Greenthumb raises some of the best sweet corn around...and melons, and cantaloupe, and cucumbers...we have a lot of weeds to keep up with!  And since Mr. Greenthumb learned to use a hoe when he was "knee high to a grasshopper," we thought it was high time our Treasures learned to take care of the produce they love to eat.

It was a great idea, in theory.

He shared the special technique of proper hoeing, just as his dad shared with him years ago.

All that wisdom and sound teaching reaped the reward of...
cute little holes

and weeded tire tracks :)

But they worked as a team!

Sorta

The big boys were a team, for sure!

And then the rain came!

So, if you give a kid a hoe...

Something will grow!
