At the farm with the Dales

At the backyard of their shop the Dales have a small farm where they grow most of their fruits and vegetables! All the members of the Dales, from the oldest to the youngest, love their farm and support the family business!




Barbara Dale is responsible for keeping the plants and trees watered.








Ewan Dale is always there for the hard tasks!





-We’re almost done Iona! Catch this one!




Grandmother Dove Dale helps with gardening too!




Grandfather Wesley is an expert to inspect the quality of the products!
-I am sure our oranges are the best in Sylvania!




Winton Dale is a great help too and he loves learning the secrets of the gardening from his father!
– Look dad this water melon is huge!
–Yes son, I think it’s ready to be picked!




Aunt Wendy is the one to choose which fruits and vegetables are ripe and ready for the shop!




It was a productive day, the harvest was great and everyone looks happy!

****************************

Little Emma wants to help too! She tries to give her grandmother a hand with the gardening!

But she is soon bored so she prefers to play with her older siblings!
She plays hide and seek with Iona...

...or she enjoys watching her brother doing some awesome tricks!

But after a while she feels hungry... and... !!!

Thanks everyone, I really enjoyed this project and again it was sad I had to put everything away after the photoshoot...  But I made sure I took many photos!  The Dales are so cute and I love the Grandparents especially! I got them from Mel!

I really wanted some hanging garlics and peppers for the shop! I already had the string of red chilies, I tried to find some miniature for the garlics but it wasn't the right size! So I decided to make some! I also made some extra apples, oranges, lemons, onions ,eggplants and strawberries!
Piffle, I didn't take photos during the making of them but I will try to show a small tutorial if I find some time although I think mine are very simple compared to others!
