garden harvest

Our garden is very happy this year with the extra rain we have been getting.
The boys love to help harvest the bounty. Today the boys helped harvest peas, lettuce, strawberries (notice there are no strawberries in the basket...that's because Dylan ate them all!), purple cauliflower and broccoli.

Cole is showing off the broccoli he picked.

The fabulous thing about having a garden is that the boys will devour anything we pick. We sat on the deck and ate raw broccoli, purple cauliflower, peas and lettuce. What a great lunch! Once we bring the veggies into the house there is no guarantee that they will eat it...so we try to harvest every day!

Dylan is trying to talk with a mouth full of peas. And yes that is strawberry juice on his shirt. Any time we are outside he heads straight for the strawberry patch and eats everything he sees. If there are no ripe strawberries...he doesn't care he'll just eat a green one. He says they taste good and they are just a little bit harder than ripe ones. This boy is a fruit fanatic.

The guys are saying 'cheers' with their broccoli before eating it.
