An unusual event happen in my small garden at home just recently. My newly planted bell pepper seedlings strangely vanished, what was left was the middle part down to the root. No other trace, not even a single leaf. So I did a little detective work.
At first, I suspected that the goats around might have eaten it all because they could easily get in since our house fence is no good. I even throw small stones at the goats for them to go far away ( how rude, right?) I was just pissed off.
When I went back to the house, my 4-year-old son, Cedrick, with scissors in his hand, excitedly told me " come, mama, weeds there..." ( he could not speak fluently yet😊) He pointed to the garbage bin.
To cut the story short, I have finally found the culprit. It was my son who cut my precious bell pepper plants off and throw them away. 😥
I just hug him. It's my fault. I always let him help me in cleaning and cutting the weeds off in our small garden. So, he cuts off everything! 😅
Oh the innocent goats!!! 😂😂
And you just hugged your son but threw stones at the goats... Haha I'm just kidding, maybe you should have prepared his favourite as well.
I mean, your dear son was trying to help his mummy out 🥰 but didn't realize he was doing it wrongly haha.
Hahaha ... I can't dare to punish my son, I talked to him about what he did to my plant. I am not sure if he understood either. 😂
Don't worry @merit.ahama, I did not hit the goats anyway, I did it to scare them. But I felt sorry for the goats...hehe...
Haha I understand
How is your son? Say me well to him 😊
He's well 🥰 thank you so much
...energetic as he is! If you haven't read my blog about him... I invite you to read it if you have free time😊...
Oh I definitely will read it soon 😊
What a great helper you have in your garden! He was just doing his job, conscientious young man with a great sense of responsibility!
Indeed, my little handyman @sofs-su ... always helps me with everything I do but do it wrongly sometimes...hahaha
Awww, poor bell pepper and how cute your son must have looked when he was showing you the "weeds" hahaha! But I believe he will soon learn to differentiate a weed from a plant :)
Very cute indeed🥰 and I hope so @ifarmgirl 🤣 before he cuts off all my plants.
Hehe, it's amusing when kids do that. At one time while my nephews and nieces were visiting (they were 8 and 9 y/o), they ran around the backyard, stepping on our green veggies thinking they were nothing but weeds, lol!
Oh no they didn't! I would have been mad!
We had to introduce them to the plants. They know better this time around :)
Maybe your son is possesed by a goat? 😂🐐 that's cute ... You can't stay mad at him for trying to help!
Hahaha... Yeah right, @riverflows, how can I be mad at a cutie patootie who just wanted to help me clean my garden? 😅 It is clean indeed, everything was cut off🤣
Haha how sweet!
An honest mistake from a miniature helper :)
I can't get angry!...hahaSee, so sweet right @fotostef? 🤣 I love my bell peppers but I love my little man more and most..💞
He will learn slowly give him some time.😊
Yeah,he will soon...💞 Thank you @hindavi for dropping by🥰
