I know you are someone who gets the importance of food - clearly! Your post brings up two issues: One is that Caralena loves the idea of the garden and has been very hands on with the planting and picking but, sadly, she won't eat anything grown in it! It is so frustrating! Actually, part of the reason we decided to have a garden was that we figured she'd be more likely to try things that she had grown. Nope. If it's not some kind of chicken nugget, pizza, mac-n-cheese or fruit, she's not interested.<br><br>Two, I know we're supposed to be basking in the few gorgeous days of summer we're finally having, but my love of the garden truly does just make me despise winter even more. There, I said it. And I've already noticed the days getting shorter. WAH! Erin- Thanks for reading. I know you are someone who gets the importance of food – clearly!

And I agree with you wholeheartedly about the fabulous taste of garden fresh produce. Having a garden in your backyard is such a special thing and Caralena will undoubtedly have very fond memories of your nightly pre-dinner lettuce picking routine. I still think about how wonderful it was when I was little and got to help my grandparent's with their garden -- picking peas and digging potatoes -- and I can't wait until Chris and I have a yard to grow one of our own. I just wish we lived in a climate that allowed fresh produce for longer than 4 months at a time. I just love this post Lise!

This made me laugh several times, esp. when Queens called. You rock. Can't wait to see you and the Farmer. xoxoxoxoxo Lise, I love your writing.
