Dear Get Oldham Growing,
We are Mason and Harry and we live on Fitton Hill with our mum Jess.
We first started growing things in pots in our tiny concrete yard. With not much sunlight it wasn’t always successful – but then we moved to Fitton Hill.
We were excited about all the space and sunlight in our garden. Mum likes to grow flowers which we think is pretty boring except for when the bees are collecting pollen. We like to sit quietly and take photos of them.
We like to grow veggies and in 2021 we grew carrots, leeks, onion, parsnip and others.
My (Mason) fave veg is cucumber so I was in charge of them.
Harry loves tomatoes and he became very interested in seeing them ripen, he tried an unripe tomato but that was yukky!
We grew peas too and mum said we’re cheeky because we kept eating them from the plant so she had none to harvest. We were not patient enough to wait for carrots either, we thought they were yummier smaller. We took them to the “old people hotel” where our grandma works and it made us happy that they got to taste our bright red fresh tomatoes.
The yummiest thing we grew were blueberries and mum made blueberry pancakes and muffins. We made flower crowns and planted our own veg patches in recycled boxes and a dog bed.
Our neighbours joined in too. George and Anna enjoyed getting messy!
We can’t wait for spring time so we can go outside and dig!
Mason (9) and Harry (6)
