One of my favorite Curious George DVDs is "Goes Green."
And I love the book The Perfect Carrot. We read it almost every night.
They're both essentially the same story. Curious George and the Man in the Yellow Hat decide to plant a garden. They choose carrots. So, after watching and reading both many times, I told Paw-Paw Mike that I needed to plant a garden at his house! Daddy said we could do one at my house, but I insisted it had to be at Paw-Paw Mike's. So a few weekends back, Daddy and Paw-Paw Mike went to Lowes and got the supplies. I helped set it all up, then I got to plant my carrot seeds!
Now I cannot wait for them to grow! We're seeing some little stems and leaves popping up now. But Paw-Paw Mike said I have to wait about two months. Two months! That's nearly forever!
[Grangie and Mommy have a back up plan, though. Fresh Market sells carrots with the stems and leaves still attached. There may be some strategic planting in the future!]
