School holiday = neglected plot

I love the school holidays as I work in a school!  However, I am off to India tomorrow for just under 4 weeks so am leaving the plot in the (?)capable hands of Elcie's OH - oh dear!

I can imagine that it is difficult for those with small children to get much done though when they are around.  I would be tempted to take them there little and often as they are then more likely to get used to the idea of being there and not get too bored  being there a whole day.  That is the plan when my grandson arrives anyway!

Similar problem here. 2 small boys (3 years and 7 months old) and a hubby who often works away.

I get by on doing a Saturday morning when hubby is here and an afternoon when one son is at nursery and the other at Grandma's. Hubby away during the school holidays makes for a weedy plot  .

Depending on the age of your daughter, some things I've found that work for quick 15 minute stops at the plot...
1) Leaving them in the car (in view) with a story CD (and a handful of raspberries or similar for the eldest).
2) Taking a little chair for eldest to have a drink and a snack (notice a theme  ). Baby in the sling or buggy.
3) Taking a toy wheelbarrow for eldest to help me take the weeds to the compost. Baby in the sling.
4) Giving eldest a basket with a handle to carry when I'm harvesting.

Little and often is the only chance  !

I don't work (domestic engineer) kids have left home and I can still only get to my Lottie for a couple of hours on a Thursday morning !! but I do look after 1 granddaughter 2 times a week and we have 2 puppies !! very ocassionally I can get over 2 mornings have a feeling my courgettes are going to be mimi marrows again this week (and still have not got through all of last weeks harvest) it all makes me feel very guilty !!
