We wanted to teach Kovi about growing things- the process of starting from a seed, watering, nurturing and enjoying the fruits of aforementioned labor. He's still very young (we realize), but it's never too early to begin cultivating his little spongy mind.
This season we've planted okra (a family favorite), tomatoes, squash, cucs, strawberries, jalapenos, bell peppers, banana peppers, basil, cilantro and corn (which has never produced for us, but we're bound and determined to keep trying).
Thus far we've enjoyed yummy banana peppers in our salads and cilantro in our everything. Delicious.
