Our first Harvest

Well, all of our hard work has paid off. We harvested our first strawberries yesterday. Yes, we are already harvesting food from our garden. (A small side note: The word "Harvest" is used very loosely in the previous sentences!)

I checked out the garden and noticed that some of the strawberries were ready. So I quickly picked them before the birds got to them.

So, here is what we got!!!

Yes, 2 strawberries. Roughly the size of a penny. They were so small and there were only two of them. (That is why I used the word "Harvest" so loosely.)

However the kids were very excited.

Here they are eating up their dinner so they can eat the strawberries I picked from the garden. They didn't know that I only got two and that whey were the size of a penny but they would soon find that part out!

So, here is a picture of Jordan with the strawberries.
And Isaac was super excited also.

And Sydney, well, she was excited but just wanted to eat them. It was kind of tough taking the picture without her shoving them in her mouth.

So, when every one's dinner was done I divided them up and handed them out to the kids. The really funny part about all of it was that the strawberries were kind of tart and the kids did not like them at all. Their faces were priceless!!! Well, we hope to have much more harvesting in the future and look forward to sharing.

Love Ya and God Bless, Tara G.
