R, R, quite elated, how does your garden grow?

...With zuchs and cukes, and peppers too,
Mom's so proud, she had to crow-




R ate an entire cucumber off the vine, in one sitting. This from a boy who "doesn't like cucumbers." Love it.

Have a sweet weekend,
SPC

I'm beaming for you - both for growing such great veggies, and for your son eating them! Ohio must be vole-free because I can't grow a zucc (or any trailing vine veggie) to save my life. The voles eat them the minute the flowers open.

Wow those are some MASSIVE zukes. I thought they were eggplants at first.

This goes to show the #1 way to get kids to eat healthy -- get them invovled in the first place!

Yay Sweet Pea Fam!

What a great kid! We haven't tried to grow cucumbers yet. Maybe next year.

What fun! They always say that kids will eat the veggies if they help grow them - now we have proof.

Our cucs always came out skinny at the top - kind of like a goose neck squash. Yours are beautiful.

Wow, beautiful veggies!!! So fun that your boy was totally into it!!

Yesterday I was in Charleston at my friend's in-laws garden. They had blueberries, white peaches and orange peaches, pecan and fig trees....I told him that I would go out there every morning with my cereal bowl and fill it with all that goodness, wish I could grow something....

Oh how I love when my son will eat something he normally says he doesn't like!

p.s. I am so jealous of your veggies!
