I love being able to teach the kids about growing stuff too. There are lots of worse foods they could be eating! In a few years we should have more fruits than we know what to do with. I think it would be a wonderful problem to have!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09582157624382487302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-23828951349838844392009-07-19T09:01:10.873-05:002009-07-19T09:01:10.873-05:00Hi Cinj, Your blooms are all beautiful!
Isn't...Hi Cinj, Your blooms are all beautiful!<br /><br />Isn't it rewarding and fascinating growing food! Your veggies are looking fantastic.<br /><br />I know how much you want your kids to eat more healthily, and I can tell you from experience now that my kids are grown, the best way for them to learn to love veggies (and fruit sometimes too,) is to let them pick it themselves and eat it fresh from the bush, vine, or whatever. <br /><br />My kids learned to love veggies they used to hate that way, and I was just as happy that they got to the berries before the birds did, and saved me the work of picking them. The trick is growing more than they can pick and eat themselves so you can use them in the kitchen and maybe even have some extras for freezing, preserves, pies, cobblers. . . :)garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-12954989777905184572009-07-18T20:20:54.158-05:002009-07-18T20:20:54.158-05:00Your coconut lined baskets look great Cinj.

All that potential should produce lots of yummy stuff to eat. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-40471610412112845932009-07-18T18:26:31.142-05:002009-07-18T18:26:31.142-05:00Thanks Becca

Must be beginner's luck.<br /><br />Catherine- I'm just discovering that now. If I'd only known!<br /><br />Dawn- I know! I miss surfing the net. :(<br /><br />Lona- Crazy cool, isn't it? I do think it is ivy variety. I just love it! Liatris do well here so far, such a pretty flower!<br /><br />Rhonda- I sure hope so!<br /><br />Donna- Why do you think I had to add them to bloom day post? I never knew potatoes even had flowers until I started playing harvest moon. I've been a veggie gardenless (is that a word?) city girl all my life. Amazing what you can learn from games! <br /><br />It's surprisingly easy for me too. You should try it. Every time I see new flowers or fruits I feel so proud/happy/excited. I love it! Next year I'll have even more gardens to putter around with.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09582157624382487302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-700511065721977942009-07-18T00:19:44.215-05:002009-07-18T00:19:44.215-05:00I had NO idea that potato plants produced such bea...I had NO idea that potato plants produced such beautiful white flowers. I really do need to learn more about growing vegetables so that I don't sound like I think veggies grow in the backroom at the grocery store.donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950476333013336671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-90474377049907217672009-07-16T14:25:41.264-05:002009-07-16T14:25:41.264-05:00Cindy, you have a bountiful veggie garden!

I think eating fruit right off the plant is the easiest, healthiest way to do it, and you don't have any messes to clean up from cooking something with them. I'm sorry about your apples dropping. <br /><br />Happy GBBD!
