In anticipation of tomorrows new series called
SuperScrimpers on Channel 4 at 8:30pm, I bring you young Mr Waste Not Want Not himself, the
petit garcon. His current project is growing his own herbs (legitimate ones of course).
247Social Media contacted the
petit to find out if he would be interested in encouraging others in the world of fending for themselves, a sort of make do brand ambassador. All things considered being 5 years old is not merely about play. His current tasks include learning to read and chopping bananas and strawberries to make smoothies - under supervision of course. He learnt the hard way about onions making you cry when he chopped the spring onions for the salmon fishcakes.
The
petit garcon wished to portray a balanced view of his life of forward planning on the making do front, with his love of cricket. This explains the appearence of two different bats in the photos. He was a bit disappointed that he was only sent mint to grow but is hopeful of his seed planting in his handy herb growing bag with feed.
Awwww! He's so cute. I hope he gets growing success with his mint.
ReplyDeleteThat programme looks fab, can't wait to watch it. xxx
Cute! Growing things is such a wonderful childhood memory, too. I remember growing a tub of radishes as a little one, which we made into (a round of) sandwiches...
ReplyDeleteGod Kate he is so cute .. I remember when my George would help me with gardening ... ah well happy memories xx
ReplyDeleteBless him! Lots of yummy mint sauce to go with roast lamb, sounds good to me!
ReplyDeleteAww what a cutie, and mint is vital for Mojitos!!
ReplyDeleteHi my dear-he looks so lovely here, hope his mint seeds do very well, keep us updated!! xxx
ReplyDeleteHe is such a doll, good for him, growing his own mint for mom's mojitos! and don't forget the mint juleps.
ReplyDeleteHe is soo cute! Sounds like a great idea getting him to grow some herbs. I can remember growing cress in a potato at school so it resembled a green hedgehog! Great fun! xx
ReplyDeleteDear Kate, I'm very impressed with PG growing herbs! It puts me to shame. I keep looking out of the window at my overgrown lawn thinking I must sort it out.
ReplyDeleteI saw the trailer for the programme the other day, my immediate thought was that Vix should be on it! I shall definitely watch it xx
Oh bless him! My kiddies did their first veggie patch last year and absolutely loved it! Their little faces when the carrots came out of the ground! Pure amazement!
