This spring we planted our first garden, and the kids have been watching patiently as the weeds kept growing like crazy around the tiny plants that we planted. After a unseasonably wet few months, all of the plants started finally growing faster than the weeds. It was real exciting for the kids when they could actually see blackberries on the vine and pumpkins starting to take shape. Last week we picked a zucchini that was about 8 inches long. The other ones were still very small and we figured that they would be a few more weeks. Today I went out with Olivia and was very surprised to see how big they have gotten.
There was 2 zucchini plants that were almost too much for Olivia to carry. We also got some yellow squash that was ready.
Olivia is so excited to eat the vegetables that she helped grow. We are going to make some zucchini bread and have grilled veggies with dinner!

She sure does love veggies doesn't she! Too cute!
