isaac has been very helpful in the garden this year.he is pretty good about waiting for us to show him which veggie to pick, except when it comes to tomatoes. apparently, they are too alluring for him. he just picks with reckless abandon. doesn’t really matter i suppose, since we always have zillions more than […]
