Yet we are already getting a bounty!
The first harvest was a pile of fava beans and a couple handfuls of sugar snap peas:
The next day a few zucchini were ready. Erin got to pick the first one:
Which she then eagerly sliced up. I cooked it up in some oil and a dash of salt.
You know how they're always saying to encourage kids to try new foods by letting them be a part of it? Well, Erin planted, watered, harvested, and chopped (with a grown-up knife). Did she take a taste? Absolutely not. Good thing we have all summer.
Robin wanted to show off the one she harvested:
Still coming along: lettuces, tomatoes, peppers, garlic. I think it's time to plant some more too!

Dang it. I thought there was going to be a happy kid-eating-vegetables story. Keep us posted as your summer progresses. We have yet to do our planting. Whoops. Perhaps that'll be a project for tomorrow.
