One of my favorite things about summer is growing things as a family. Not all of the tomatoes pictured are mine, just the darker purple ones. They are sweet and delicious Cherokee Purples. The other tomatoes are from the Broken Arrow Farmers Market and my mom who shops it regularly. Our peppers never produced but we have had lots of tomatoes and a few blackberries. Next year we are planning to add strawberries.
Ellie is my nature girl. She loves to grow things and spend time outside. She has a connection with nature and animals that is infectious. I can tell already that for her it is relaxing and peaceful to make that connection. For me raising children means nurturing what they enjoy. There is a saying at our house, "Try it you might like it!" Ellie has brought the love of growing to our family. Our garden grows because of her.
