In the Garden


Each week we take all the children for a walk to Poppaw John's garden.  Allowing them to be a part of the care and harvest, letting them watch the seasonal changes that take place, allowing to eat sun warmed veggies and fruits ... all of that is a big part of the Enchanted Childhood we try to foster in their and our lives.

The walk over is always full of good things!

some handholding and I love yous



some silly bridge fun!



some hide and seek!
by the way, the leaves sticking out on each side are the tree's arms!




Once we arrive at the Garden,
the carrot patch is the first place the children run!






onions, garlic, rhubarb, and asparagus grown in this huge bed




the blueberry bushes are full and the berries are starting to ripen!



We managed to find just enough almost ripe ones for a taste
more like a promise of the gift to come



peas: both sugar snap eaten with the pod and regular peas popped out of the pod!


we gathered plenty of broccoli to take home for lunch



and oohed and awed over the cauliflower hidden within it's leaves




Each week I join several linky parties! What a fun way to share and learn!
