Farmer Boy

In addition to the tomato harvest earlier this week, Tommy has been learning a lot about gardening from Grandama. She has planted a sunflower seed at her house and Tommy checks on it every visit to see how it has grown. He reminds her that plants need water and sunlight.

He picked Papa's first artichoke from the backyard but also refused to taste it.

So he was a natural assistant this week when Grandama had to go by school and water their garden while other teachers were on vacation. Grandama picked up Tommy and his wagon and put both to work.

The harvest:

Blurry, but adorable. Considering we almost exclusively buy baby carrots, Tommy was probably fascinated to see a real carrot! (Shout out to the planter boxes Tom built for SG several years ago!)


We're heading to Gilroy sometime this week... I'm sure he'll be picking the fruit trees!
