My "can't live withouts" are tomatoes, of course, and basil. Yum! My kids would eat green pasta (pesto) every day!

We plan to use the seeds to make bird feeders in the fall. Your garden looks great!

And you would not believe the yummy things, kid-friendly foods that can be made with squash!

We have a lot of PURPLE in our vegi garden. Purple Carrots, Purple Beans, Purple Cabage... all sorts of tomatoes... and Chioga Beets. They taste like regular beets, but they have a bull's eye effect inside with white and red rings. Also grow lemon cucumber and pattypan squash instead of the "regular" kind. The kids LOVE eating our strange garden. I also planted my garden in our <a href="http://www.minetothine.com/2008/07/see-im-not-so-crazy.html" rel="nofollow">front yard</a> this year. Took up the lawn, and put garden in! Mmmmmm Fresh Gardeny goodness… We have a lot of PURPLE in our vegi garden. Purple Carrots, Purple Beans, Purple Cabage… all sorts of tomatoes… and Chioga Beets.

We don't have a good spot for planting, so I got huge pots and planted in them. I keep them on my back porch where they get plenty of light and my tomato plants are huge! We have already eaten a few and look forward to many more! Homegrown tomatoes are the best! We don’t have a good spot for planting, so I got huge pots and planted in them.

I hope the enthusiasm continues for growing your vegetables and fruits. I agree with you on never going back to supermarket food once you have grown your own.

I want to start a garden area for my kids so I am going to see if I can find these books to get some inspiration. I am hoping to get some pumpkins in this year too. My gardening has been less than stellar this year. These books sound great. I want to start a garden area for my kids so I am going to see if I can find these books to get some inspiration.
