well as a family we weeded strimmed watered and hoed. Oh and spent an age looking for my little hand rake that one of my sons decided to toss into the grass hubby had been strimming. We have come to the concludion that it has ended up in the compost heap. So aI am one rather annoyed mummy, with one rather regretful 4 year old.I had only moments earlier told him off about leaving my tiny trowel lying on a patch of ground and told him when he had finished with anything he ahd to take it back to the carpet area where they have thier seats. So not as if he hadnt been told. I also had no idea he'd taken either out of my bag.
Watched some dragonflies around my pond.

Hope you find your trowel soon and your little one is only 4, so don't be too harsh. It is so easy to nip a budding gardener in the making, although just as important to teach them the rights and wrongs as a garden or plot can be a hazardous place. Ninny :)

Ninny :)Get a feeling that the rake si lost and gone forever. Did another round of looking for it today. As you say it was only a rake and he does love to help. Perhaps I need to get him a set of his own tiny tools.
