Our garden grew well this year. I have to say Will has loved checking out how things are growing, watering the garden was always a hit (who doesn't enjoy playing in the water), and most of all the pumpkins.
We had watermelon, cucumbers, pumpkins, carrots, peas, lettuce, beans, tomatoes and sunflowers in the garden this year. The kids both loved picking peas and eating them out of the garden. Madelyn was none too impressed when they dried up. We grew purple beans this year. They were cool but just to note when you cook them the color disappears and you are left with plain green beans, much to Will's disappointment. Cucumbers are a favorite for both kids. I grew tomatoes mainly because i want to try making some of my own salsa and maybe tomato sauce, you know in all my spare time. We actually got a couple of watermelons as well, we have not tried them yet, hopefully they are good!
Pumpkins are of course the main attraction.... I hope they fully turn orange before Halloween!
