Tis the season

To learn that you only pick tomatoes when they are RED! Luckily, Luke is pretty good with his colors and has caught on to the idea of leaving the green ones on the vine a bit longer. Also, luckily, the tomatoes are all turning red so he can pick at will and doesn't get a lecture about red vs. green :) ha

He really does enjoy watching the flowers grow and the bees work on them and has a two year old's appreciation for the outside and nature. I am so happy for that. We were looking through a gardening magazine last week and noticed a big picture of black eyed susans so we looked around the yard for the 'real thing' and now when I ask him where black eyed susans are...he goes right to them ;) Love that brain in action.
