Eating well and eating sustainably rarely gets better than backyard gardening.  This year we put in our first garden ever.  It was hard going.  But largely thanks to help from my mom, it did go in.  Here’s a montage from about 2 weeks ago:

This week we took our first harvest, just in time for snacks. Those carrots are baby carrots that were “thinned” to allow others more room to grow. Yum!

Better Boy yielded three large, ripe beauties. Technically, Celebrity sported our first ripe full-sized tomatoe… but my 3-year-old picked and sqooshed it under his shoe before I could say “NO!” That’s real life gardening with children!

How does your garden grow?
