why did my toddler yell ‘tomato treasure!’ in the garden?

Every time we step into the backyard, my daughter grabs her tiny canvas bag and shouts, “Tomato treasure!” She’s two, but she’s already the boss of our cherry tomato patch. We make a game out of searching for the ripest ones, and she loves to show off her finds. Letting her pick her own tomatoes means she’s way more excited to eat them at lunch. Plus, she’s learning to spot which ones are ready and which need more sun. I always let her carry her own bag—she feels like a real gardener. It’s messy, but seeing her proud face is worth every muddy footprint. Gardening with a toddler isn’t just about the veggies. It’s about the giggles, the dirt, and those little moments that make the day. #gardeningwithkids #tomatopicking #parentingtips #Gardening
