We Will Rise Above Territorial Disputes and Heckling!

The daycare kids and I have been checking our containers, the herb garden, salad garden, orchard and veggie garden daily. Somewhere along the line, probably after several days in a row of sampling, the two year old has decided that the strawberry harvest is HIS! When my 22 year old son got wind of this, he made it clear that the strawberries are HIS! Luckily, the containers are the ones ready for harvest right now and the blueberry patch's alpine and musk strawberry ground covers will be ready to eat soon!

Meanwhile, I've made a couple of slip-ups with the salads. What's an occasional oak catkin or beetle in the grand scheme of things, anyway!!!! The daycare kids and I harvested some salad yesterday. They each took turns practicing their scissor skills, cutting one leaf at a time and putting it in the bowl. (That's where all of my gardener's patience serves me well!) We washed it, added some fresh peas (also from the garden), a few other things, and began digging in. I, of course, served up big plates to my two kids as well. My 17 year old daughter begged me to please serve her something canned soon, because she had dutifully "forced this stuff down for you" for weeks now!!!! That wasn't the end of it, though. My kids started making casual remarks to the daycare kids about finding various creepy crawlies coming out of their recent salads!!! (I've gotten VERY thorough and I think I've got a good system now.) Luckily, my sweet little daycare kids kept munching away, proud that they had grown this fine salad from seed to plate. Haaa haa, Jeremy and Cassie, you sassy chips off the old block, you!!
