My daughter, Tatyana, is turning two next week.  She absolutely loves to garden.  She can't talk very well yet, so today she sat by the door and fussed, trying to turn the handle, until I came and asked if she wants to go outside.  She said, "Yeah!"  I went out with her and she worked on weeding the garden, stopping every few seconds to grab a mint or parsely leaf and stick it in her mouth. 

I watched her, dumbfounded.  I never once had to tell her what was a weed and what wasn't.  This was her first time working in the garden alone.  She can't even talk yet, but she can tell a weed from a plant.
