First Harvest

What a joyful time! We plant, we water and weed daily, we sing and coax our little veggies along. We talk about patience and how things take time to grow & ripen. Last night after I put Cooper to bed, I let Josiah stay up a little bit and help me in the garden. He got to pick the first ripe tomato! That boy was so excited, he wanted to take it to bed with him. He actually cried when I told him it had to stay in the kitchen. And he doesn't even like to eat tomatoes...

Here is our little gardener with his first tomato of the season, his trusty watering can, and a cucumber that he wouldn't hold because it had "pricklies" on it.

What a happy gardener! You all must have very green thumbs to be harvesting this early!
