Over the last few weeks Elinor (now almost 2y 1m) has been 'helping' me
plant various seeds.

All in the garden today (nanny and granddad visiting) doing various
things.

Elinor disappears into the shed, Nanny goes in to find that she has
climbed up onto the stool by the bench, found some peas in a packet and
is happily planting them into modules all by herself :-)

I'm impressed. When mine was two she took to regularly stuffing peas up her
nose. :-) Now she's 3, despite my best efforts, most of what's in the garden
is just something to be poked with a stick or chopped with the secateurs.
