Gardening success

If you remember, last year I was very excited about the idea of showing my then 2-year-old about where food comes from and how we take care of plants. Well, this year, the now 3-year-old wanted to grow cauliflower and was very sad to learn that it is a fall plant in our region. He was not so thrilled about my alternative choice - peas. Easy to maintain and something he would eat, I hoped. Well, we'll find out today. The first pods have appeared. I really wasn't as ambitious as I had thought after last year's success, but I realized in the winter that expecting a baby in May would severely impair the modest gardening wishes I had. If you haven't grown anything yourself, I highly recommend a trip to the farmer's market to show your kids what fruits and veggies that still have dirt on them look like! And maybe we'll think about cauliflower for Sukkot...
