Alex and Daris came over to water and see if there were any goodies to pick. Daris found a twin tomato. He's going to love eating that one! (He's one of the few kids that enjoys the tomatoes right off the vine!) It seems like the kids are getting an itch to go back to school. No one wants to admit it ... but they seem to be restless. No one's riding bikes or boarding or normal early summer activities. Doesn't seem like they're going to the pool much either. They know better than to say to me that they're board ... but, I think they are kind of itching to see what other kids have been up to for the summer and to do something different. I know for a fact that the parents that stay home, are VERY excited for school to start ... and some are a bit frustrated that they're not going back before the holiday.
There is lots of talk among the kids about the Fall Garden. I'd really better start planning and figuring out when to turn over what we have in the boxes now. I mentioned to the gardeners that I'd like to have them start planting seeds in our starter kit so that we can be ready. Daris and Alex are talking about how, if they have the seeds, they'll invite everyone over to participate in the growing process. Currently, I've only got one seeding container. I was going to get more, but I kind of like how they're working it out. I'll ask some parents and see what they'd like.
Yesterday and today they were talking about having a block party. They want to use the veggies we're growing to make food for the neighborhood! I'm not sure if they're thinking about this season's garden, or our fall garden. We don't have too much now ... so, maybe if I get it together, we'll have some fun options for our annual Halloween gathering? It's fun for me to hear them talking to each other about what to grow next and about planning a block party. Very cool!
