Not only has the herb garden taken off, but the vegetables are awesome. Delicious. Emma is a good weed puller, not so efficient, but she's good at it anyway. She takes her shoes off at the gate and runs around the garden barefoot. Helping where she can. She is a really great tomato picker. The plants are apparently a little close together and she can squeeze right in there and get the ripe ones out! She knows what almost everything is and already assumes she isn't going to like them, before trying them. Someday she'll eat them, promise.

It is so close to being an organic garden. The brussels sprouts were getting eaten, so I gave in and bought a bug spray, I really want brussels. We brought in a ton of tomatoes, I think we're going to can some salsa, jalapeno peppers, green peppers, carrots, the one and only lonely watermelon, an acorn squash, some beets, the rest of the onions and scallions. Oh, and those possible beans, probably weeds, were definitely weeds. I tried to plant beans 3 times and nothing. For August, I'm going to plant peas, lettuce and spinach. I also want to start an indoor herb garden!
