My herbs
Summer is approaching and it is time to plant our garden. Over the last week my husband and I have prepared our vegetable garden for planting. Today my 4 year old and I planted 8 tomato plants, 3 zucchini plants, 3 yellow squash plants, 3 cucumber plants, 3 varieties of lettuce seeds, and green bean seeds. These plants join the already blossoming strawberry plants I placed in the garden last spring. All that is left to plant are our herbs.
Home garden’s are a great way to teach children about how our food grows. By including children in gardening they often are more excited about trying new foods especially the vegetables they helped grow. I am hoping my daughter will try vegetables finally since she helped plant today. She is my fruit lover though, so we do have blueberries and raspberries plus two apple trees in our yard as well.
I plan to share with you pictures of our harvest this growing season. I will post the recipes I use for each of our vegetables. Stay Tuned!
