Working in the Garden

By Aaron, Gr. 5

Every year there are three of the younger boys who help in the garden (myself included). When the girls are picking something we empty their pails. Sometimes when they're hoeing we pull some of the big weeds. If we need help in the garden we look for the other boys, but sometimes we can't find any.

When there's a big job to do, like picking peas, the whole community gets up at 6:00 in the morning to pick them. It's usually lots of fun.

When we don't have any work our Dad tells us to cut the grass. We use a riding lawn mower and sometimes we use a pusher.
