Gardening is growing

We have been enjoying our little plot at Meadowbrook that Henry and I visit almost daily. It is so much fun to finally see things growing. We have onions, sugar peas, potatoes, lettuce, kale and kohlrabi already showing up.


We even had our first harvest this week when we thinned the lettuce a little. Henry enjoyed picking the lettuce or just that I finally let him pull something out of the ground. The lettuce made a nice little salad for dinner.

This week we also planted lots of new things. We added spinach, chard, carrots, and radish seeds. Henry of course loves to add the seed to the ground and cover them up. We even added tomatoes today. The plants were huge and were starting to take over our house so, it was nice to get them in the ground. They seem much happier there and we just hope for nice weather for them.

Henry's absolute favorite part of each garden trip is watering. He can't squeeze the trigger yet, thankfully, but he likes to help hold the hose. He even showed off a new skill of drinking out of the hose, which was lots of fun.
