Garden Goodness

Having a fruit and vegetable garden has been a great way to teach our kids about nutritious food and to encourage our family to eat healthy. You don't even have to have a full garden to make an impact on a little mind - growing something as simple as an herb in your window can teach a lot about how we get the food we eat!

Thanks to the boatloads of rain, our garden has flourished this summer. Another reason is likely that we made much better choices about what we planted (tip: a garden full of squash is not such a great idea), and have tended to it much more regularly (tending to it at all was an improvement). The kids love to take care of it and gobble up what it produces. This weekend we harvested some basil for a yummy pizza!
