Farmer Bee and her crop

Lorne wanted to grow some produce this summer with Jasmine so he could show her how food grows and help her learn to be responsible for something. He wanted her to learn to water plants as well so he got 2 plants from Home Depot and put them out front. They look funny out front but really, it is the only place around our house that gets the right amount of sun that the plants need in order to grow and produce a crop.
He bought a tomato plant and a strawberry plant. Jasmine has diligently watered the plants all summer and been excited to watch them grow. She has picked the fresh berries off the strawberry plant and eaten them all by herself. She reminds us to water the plants almost everyday and checks her plants to see if there is any fruit ready to pick. She has been successful and the plants look great and have produced a lot of fruit! I suppose we will do it again next year!

Hurray for growing things!

James and Hayden are watching over their watermelon plants with great anticipation.

We don't have green thumbs, but at least we haven't killed everything!
