The Harvest is Plentiful

We are continually trying to use resources around us for experience and training as we prepare for life in Ethiopia. One of Jon’s projects has been a large garden and he has incorporated The Littles to a point that they feel it is their garden and they eat vegetables they’ve grown themselves!

If you have followed our journey to being a bit more granola, I think you’d be proud of us.

If I would tend the garden with The Littles, they would instruct me, “Mama, don’t step on any plants, okay?”, “No weeds in the garden! Go away weeds!”

We returned from vacation to an overgrown but productive garden.

The Littles sampled every type of produce, including the pictured under-ripe tomato.

Glad for every lesson we’ve learned from this garden.

And glad The Littles are eating veggies!
