First Fruits of our Garden

It is time to begin reaping the benefits of our garden this year!  Ben planted some fun looking squash this year called Early Whitebush Scallop, that grows in a cool shape.  It kind of looks like a flower and Ben made us all model it!
Even Uncle Troy had a go!

Next, we have some tomatoes ready--my favorite!  There is nothing better than a fresh garden tomato! Can you find Jade in that forest of plants?!
She was so proud of her tomatoes, she reached in there and picked them out all by herself.  She is such a great little helper and it is nice to have someone else to help with the harvesting this year!

We also picked quite a few herbs this morning as well.  This is about the 5th time we harvested the parsley this season!  Then we have basil and rosemary.  It was a smelly day in our kitchen!

And last, but not least, Ben picked his first cucumber of the season and promptly ate it!  Kiera even loved it--it was the only real food she would eat that day.
