Just Edible

We celebrated the Jewish new year this week with shofar blowing, songs, apples and honey.  Elliot is really into Hebrew so we are learning the Hebrew alphabet - again.  I think it might stick better this time since HE wants to learn it and we keep saying how cool it is.  What else is cool beside my kids and husband???  Oh, our garden!  Xander and Elliot did a great job planting fruits and veggies and it paid off.  We had an abundance of strawberries, blueberries, marionberries, rhubarb, lettuce, string beans, tomatoes, champagne grapes, apples, carrots, peppers and cucumbers.  Some of which is still kicking (see pic below.)  I do love growing and eating our own food.  It is really cool for Elliot to see how organic food is grown and for him to have the ability to pick it himself.  We talk a lot about the environment and how we need to leave less of a carbon foot print.  If we can't eat from our yard we buy local from the farmers market and try to eat what is in season.  So here is to the fruit (& veggies) of our labor!

Some of the edible fruit and veggies from our yard.
Of course these guys are edible too!
