Everyday when I go out for one of my daily walks one, if not both, of them will come with me.
Today I had some weeding to get done.
So out I went to the garden.
And after a little while, the girls followed me.
E helped me do some weeding. She's a good worker.
D is my plant checker.
She likes to let me know which veggies she thinks are ready to be picked.
I have to watch her. Or else she will pick all the tomatoes a few days too early.
Today she found that there were 4 ripe grape tomatoes.
I let her pick them. She was so excited.
Then she shared 2 of them with E. And they ate them then & there.
And both of them agreed with one another that there is nothing like eating a tomato you have just picked off the vine.
I love it.
It is so much fun to see them get such enjoyment out of helping in the garden.
Earlier I had seen that we had our first cucumber that was ready to be picked.
I saved it for the girls to pick.
All it took was for me to say, "there's a cucumber that can be picked."
And off they went excitedly to the cucumbers. Searching.
D found it. And then let her sister pick it. Because she had already picked the tomatoes and yesterday had picked a zucchini.
E was thrilled to pick the cucumber.
D brought it inside. And proceeded to cut it up for us to eat with our lunch.
It was delicious. Nothing like a just picked cucumber.
We can't wait until more veggies are ready to be picked.
