So I told you all yesterday that I left to visit with my mom in Florida and my garden was thriving. Then, we came back after a almost a month to weeds and everything dead, except tomatoes, carrots, salad, and kale. I really do not think you can kill kale. It lasted through the winter! Today we got out there and began tearing into it. It was a big old mess.
My children were forced to go out there with me, this morning. It was pure torture for them. Yuck, yuck, double yuck. The did not want to work in the garden. LOL We do love to make our children work. My son said, “I will not ever have a garden when I’m older.” I said, “yeah, that’s what I told my mom too. But you need to know where your food comes from and you need to eat good healthy nutritious food and the best comes from what you care and tend too.” Cheesy, right. Sigh, I try to do my best for them. They loved looking at our baby carrot! I pulled it to see if it was ready. Not yet. See pic above! Those are about 1 inch tomatoes and a 2 inch carrot!
I know gardening isn’t for everyone. I love it and I hope to instill a love for it in my children. I want them to think outside the box about where their food comes from!
