..is coming a long quite nicely!! We have eaten one tomato..YUM!! My corn, peas, beans, okra, summer squash, radishes, cucumbers and onions have all sprouted and are growing great! Carrots, peppers and parsley are moving slower than the others..I am not too worried though :) The BEST part is I have not pulled a single weed!! Not one yet!
The tomatoes ended up in a "Topsy Turvey" instead of the SFG box because I planted them in there before Jon agreed to make me the box!! But they are growing great too.
I can't wait to start eating the benefits of having a garden! But I think my favorite part has been teaching Jett about a garden, watching him learn and his excitement about it! He helped me plant it and he is beside himself that stuff has grown from those 'Tiny Seeds'. We watched our first tomato turn red for a few days and when we could finally eat it, we split it into thirds for Jett, Jaide and I(Jon doesn't eat a lot of veggies). Jett was so excited to eat it! I can't wait til we can eat some more :)

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! I think its so good to teach kids where our food "should" come from and eat home grown/raised food! Awesome job!
That is so cool. I think it's great that you're having Jett help you with it too... I'm sure he's learning alot! You're sure a great mom.
