Our 3rd child, really...our garden. We have 9 9'x5' raised beds, and of course our 15 beloved blueberry bushes, and we've had such a great time with it all this year. Finally, I can get out there without a monstrous preggo belly or a newborn strapped on, and I've really been enjoying it. The kiddos love it too, and I've been amazed how they are refraining from yanking out the harvest! And now that the blueberries are ripe, I can send Em and Mase in there, close the gate, and get a good 30 minutes of gardening done while they eat berries....mostly the blue ones....=)
Emily also loved the cherries from our 2 cherry trees, before the birdies cleaned 'em out completely. Mason has an affinity for the peas, and knows exactly how to eat just the peas, which really surprises me! He can pack a lot of those little buggers in his cheeks. I just love watching the kids out there, Emily gets SO excited when she sees something new ripening or sprouting, she can hardley contain herself. I feel like I'm teaching them so much just by growing all this, letting them see where food comes from, reaping the yumminess from our hard work, I just can't get enough of it. My mom's love of her garden just might have rubbed off a little! It just took awhile to show up.....=)
