uh oh!

more notes from our amateur gardening and parenting adventures...look what we found devouring our tomatoes! it's a tomato horn-worm and the glutton has ruined about 6 large tomatoes and lots of foliage before we caught him today. we better get a good science lesson out of this one and will see if he pupates, but the rest will get chopped in half with scissors.


unrelated, but here is how miles "helps" unload the clean utensils.  it won't be long before he obsessively organizes, as he shows hints of his dad's orderly personality:)

we harvested our first squash (thanks katie for the seedlings) and ate it on father's day...yum!

sunflowers stretching to greet our neighbors


it is so fun to wander out in the yard to our little patches of things and for them to discover ripening, flowering, or in today's case munching!

Love how Miles helps you unload the dishwasher! Too cute!

My dad has a garden and the boys love to see what's ready for picking each week. I would love to have a garden of our own someday!
