In California everyday is perfect for gardening! And, in my world there is a bonus… a grandboy who is my favorite little garden helper. He may be small but he is enthusiastic, energetic and has all the right tools for the job!

Smooth hand with the water wand.

A gentle touch with the baby plants.

Leaf gathering … made easier using his shopping cart and “garden pouch” as he calls it.

(Actually this pouch is Bob Blomberg’s Gardener’s Hollow Leg, Jr.)

Heading to the green compost bin.

Finding the ripe tomatoes.

Eating right off the vine is the yummiest.

Yes, the future of gardening in California is in good, no great, hands!
