Gardening 101

I have mentioned before Ben's love of anything that grows, and tonight just bolstered that passion for him. Thanks to kind friends like Farmer Tim, (many thanks Tim and Susan!) Ben was able to sample some of natures goodness. He was especially helpful in crawling under the truck sized tomato plants to pick a beautiful yellow tomato. It is noteworthy that the plants came from seeds that were over 100 years old!! Now, if I can just get Ben to eat tomatoes, we will be in good shape. Maddie on the other hand had no problem sampling natures bounty. She had her first blackberry, and by the looks of this photo, she really enjoyed it. Don't you just love summer!
