Two of our kids came back this week from camp. (Welcome home girls!!!) It rained like crazy all day yesterday, so everyone was excited to see the growth in the garden. We've all noticed that a little rain goes a long way .... and we had a lot. The growth was actually pretty impressive. All five kids plucked at least one cherry tomato. What was interesting is that all the kids were asking me if they could eat the tomato they picked. (Mind you, all but one child actually likes tomatoes.) Of course I said yes ... talk about organic! They were all saying how sweet and yummy they were. How funny! I love these kids. I'm always learning something from them. And, I think I like THIS kind of peer pressure!!!
We did harvest a good looking squash that "Katie" took home. She hadn't had dinner at that point and her mom is good about cooking up veggies ... I wouldn't be surprised if she had it tonight. Talk about FRESH! YUM-O!
Tomorrow, we're going to cut down the sunflowers and try and dry out the seeds for Round 2. I also asked the kids to think about the Fall Plot. I have some homework to do ... I've learned a lot from this go around.
