Back in April, Todd left for a conference in Kenya. While he was gone, I decided to attack the backyard, which was wonderfully without trees (unlike all of our neighbors). I say that it was great to not have trees because we have wanted to have a garden, especially with kids, for a long while now. So with Todd being gone and having time on my hands, I borrowed a shovel and went to work. Em loves helping Daddy pick the veggies and bringing them into me. She's also become quiet adept at taking the pulled weeds and putting them into the garbage. We had our first real harvest a few days ago. Sadly, we didn't imagine that the zucchini would be ready, and therefore didn't check for a few days (and they have thorns!!!). That led to this...
Yes, that is a Blackberry cell phone and a cook book! Thankfully, I was able to get four loaves of zucchini bread from just this one sprout. We're slightly more diligent about picking them smaller now, but are loving the time spent outside, together, getting dirt under our nails.
