Went out this afternoon to do some thinning and I thought I would share what me and my family got up to. Got a salads worth of spinach and a little treat of small carrots from the raised beds. At the rate these carrots have grown since August we should have some good sized ones in November. My son thought we should feast on the freshly dug carrots dirt and all. He made sure Mom and Dad did the same! My son is almost 2 and half years old, and loves to do whatever me our my wife does.

There were some upset moments today when he couldn't immediately pick the rest of the thinned carrots but we talked and mostly distracted him out of it. We had left the tomatoes for him for just this emergency, so we got him into picking them. He just loves to help outside in the garden and is very serious so he needs some coercing if his work is a little to destructive! Once he got picking the tomatoes he forgot about those carrots, at least for today, we'll see if he remembers them tomorrow...
