Mini Harvest
The first real fruit of our labors--a strawberry.
This plump red fruit had been getting bigger and bigger and redder and redder. Garren suggested we pick it before it got eaten by an animal or got knocked off.
I figured since this family did all of the work in the garden these past 6 weeks, we should be the first to taste (plus, the girls saw the strawberry last week and it was big and red).
I cut the strawberry in to 3 pieces and I think we were all surprised at just how bitter it was. I think it probably needed to be on the plant a little longer.
I am so happy with the apparent success of the garden. Besides the strawberry, we have plump green tomatoes and 4 small yellow squashes. I am very glad I thought this idea up. Besides a learning experience for the girls, it has been a great way for our family to work hard together.
