I have never been known to be particularly crafty and I most certainly do not have a green thumb. However, last year we embarked on a project to grow some of our own fruits and veggies in an effort to teach the kids about healthy eating. We bought deck boxes since we live in the woods and can't imagine a garden surviving in our yard. Last summer brought us lots of tomatoes that pretty much nobody ate. And we managed to kill all of our cucumbers by turning them yellow. This summer we got smart and decided to try for foods that our kids eat by the barrel.

| Our strawberry plant did survive the winter despite our neglect. |
 |
| And miraculously it has bloomed! |
 |
| Kids are thrilled and last night we had our ceremonial first pick! |
 |
| Tada! Sliced it in two and it was gone before it hit the plate. Success!!! |
Let's hope we can get them all before the critters do...
