Collateral Damage

Virginia is becoming adept at identifying vegetables and flowers.  I love her stance here -- it's just the kind of pose a landscaper conferencing with a client might strike.

She and David are assessing woodchuck damage to the peas.

Au naturel

Virginia reeeeally likes being naked, and she loves watering the garden.  Why not marry the two interests?  Henry isn't such a big help yet, but he's willing to go along for the ride.

I am surprised how large the garlic is!  No tomatoes in yet, but we're getting there.  We're pretty surprised how much we've done given the new baby.  Just makin' it, but makin' it!

Little Miss Eve is modeling the broccoli rabe we harvested today.  Virginia planted, watered, and cut it, but she refused to eat it.  It was pretty bitter (maybe we let it get too big?)

Gardener, cook

Virginia surprises me with her interest and her ability to help in the kitchen.  Here she is making a strawberry-balsamic dressing to finish the salad (pears, goat cheese, greens) we made with the lettuce she helped plant!  Hurray!  The first garden meal of the year.
