Peter Rabbit is that naughty little bunny who likes to steal food from Mr McGregor’s garden.
Peter Rabbit knows a few things about gardening. Here are his gardening lessons.
1. Fresh garden food is delicious. In fact fresh lettuces and radishes are so yummy that you might eat more than is good for you!
2. Remember to plant some herbs. Parsley has medicinal properties and so does camomile. Parsley will counteract the smell of garlic and chamomile is good for nausea and indigestion.
3. Allow space for fruit in your garden. Blackberries, gooseberries and black-currants are all delectable, fresh from the garden. You might need a net to keep the birds off though so you get some for yourself!
4. Basic garden tools don’t go out of style – a rake, a hoe, a watering can, and a wheelbarrow are the essential, and timeless, tools for a gardener. You’ll also need somewhere to keep them.
5. Rabbits are good at sneaking into your garden. Those bunnies will squeeze under fences and gates and take a share of your good food. Chasing rabbits with a rake is ineffective. Peter Rabbit won’t tell you this, but you’re better off using rabbit repellent!
