Harvest As Family Activity


One of the best things about a garden is harvesting. Combine that with your children, make it something to look forward to on the way home or when they come to visit. It makes memories. It is a rare and genuine manufactured memory. Buddy went out with me tonite and picked beans, helped dig for potatoes, and pointed out red tomatoes. Then he INSISTED on carrying the harvest bowl into the house all by himself (its a long way for a two year old, steps, etc) and he rendered yeoman service. Joy.


Below we have a work table covered in fruits of the garden. Just the way I like it!

  3. That is indeed some fine eating. The menu ended up as:

    Thyme roasted potatoes
    French dressed harcourt verts
    Bruschetta (with fresh bread)

    It was, indeed, tasty!
