Meet the Veggies…WHAT HAPPENS IN MISS MAE’S KITCHEN? by Charlotte Raybon E Eloquent Books New York, New York
If I could be a vegetable I would want to be Spinach. It's fab word, the leaves look super comfortable and it's not buried down deep down in the ground, (wouldn't like that). That said, when playing this game with others I have been told that I'm much more like root ginger!?! Not sure what that says about me, but there you go. Hey, hey, hey there. Why didn’t someone wake me?” asks Mr. Biscuit, jumpingoff the wall onto the kitchen table.“Well,” says Onion, “you should’ve gotten down as soon as you heard Mr.Rooster. And it is getting late. Remember what happened the last time Fanniethought Miss Mae went out?”“Yeah,” says Corn-on-the-Cob. “We almost got caught running around andMiss Mae was just in the next room. Fannie swore up and down that she hadleft the house. Oh dear, Oh dear. We all ran and I lost some of my beautiful,precious kernels. All because Fannie thought Miss Mae had left the house.”“That’s enough fussing, Corny. I’m just a doll trying to live,” Fannie says in a huff.

The show evolved from an interactive street theatre piece called The Vegetable Nannies, created by actor Ben Faulks – who plays Mr Bloom. In 2009 Faulks approached the BBC – with three young children of his own, Faulks regularly watched CBeebies and realised his show would work well on television.
Mr Bloom’s Nursery does what many parents might have thought impossible – gets children excited about vegetables! Set in the allotment of the lovable gardener, and featuring a supporting cast of animated veggies, the award-winning CBeebies series has been teaching children about vegetables and where they come from, as well as wider lessons on nurture and growth. Tip into a bowl and mash together with the cooked potato. Season with salt and pepper. Leave this to cool. Once hot, fry the samosas a few at a time for around 10 minutes, or util golden. Drain on the kitchen paper and repeat until all the samosas are cooked. Faulks admits he isn’t a keen gardener himself, although he loves the outdoors. He’s not sure where the inspiration for the character of Mr Bloom came from: “He was always going to be a happy Northern gardener but I haven’t based him on anyone.” Keep them involved throughout the process and ask lots of questions so that they feel like they’re actively involved. Ask them where they think would be a good spot for their plants and why, how long they think their plants will take to grown and what they might look like.Thanks to everyone who posted questions for me - I think I'm going to be grilled with the rest of them at a later date but here are a couple of choice ones I've been given: If your little one really loves getting out and about in the garden it can be helpful to buy a set of child-friendly mini-tools that they can hold and use by themselves. Having a little watering can, rake, trowel and spade can really help build your child’s sense of independence as well as their physical movement and fine motor skills. Raymond the Butternut Squash: he may not be the brightest but he is very thoughtful and has a big heart. The Wee MacGregors: the Radishes, a law unto themselves – cheeky, mischievous, observant and attentive.
