 Okay, really I love my whole yard. I am so thankful that we can spend time out here. That my kids can learn about plants through experience and not in a school building. They experience planting the seeds, watching them sprout and picking the flowers or eating the produce. I see thier excitement when they find the first tomato flower or pea pod emerge or when they find something they can pick and eat.
