Strawberries

While visiting her Bapa and Ada in March, Nevaeh had the opportunity to help out in Ada's garden and to plant her very own strawberry plant. She was counting on receiving photo updates of how her little plant was growing, since she, being so far away would be unable to care for it. In April we celebrated Nevaeh's 4th birthday, Bapa and Ada came down for her party...and so did her strawberry plant! She has watered, pruned, picked off caterpillars(actually I did, she wouldn't touch them) and faithfully kept Charlotte away from her strawberry plant. Two months later she is finally seeing and tasting the fruits of her labor.
So far we've picked two little ones that apparently were a little sour.
We have four more on the way!

How cute! Nevaeh will love Moms new Garden, and I am sure Mom will love Ayas help watering. The hard part is going to be keeping Char out of the garden. Oh my... I can just see it now. It's going to be lots of fun. Maybe Aya can help me plant my new "Going Green Garden!" I can't wait to see you all. 11 more days!!!!
