Fruit(s) of Our Labor

I'm thrilled to report that we just harvested our first strawberry from the new Gerber Family Garden! We actually had a couple promising candidates last week, but some critter (rat? squirrel? raccoon?) ran off with them before we could pick them.

Today, we managed to get there first and after splitting the strawberry into four minuscule portions, we all concluded that it tasted like -- a strawberry! Imagine that.

The other plants are doing well and hopefully in a month or so we'll have tomatoes and zucchini. This gardening thing is fun!

A great looking berry at that! I can't wait to taste the tomatoes and zuccini next month.

Congratulations, guys, how exciting! the tomatoes and zucchini will be delicious - think you'll get the boys to eat them?
