Having a garden has changed the way Sydney eats. Until last years garden everything she ate had to be white. Picking the beans last year got her really excited about them and she found out that she loves them. So since then she has tried all sorts of new food and I couldn't be happier.
This is a picture of her picking this years harvest. We have already picked 5 lbs of beans from these plants and there are still lots of blossoms. They are pretty tasty beans, but the skins are a little tough. If anyone has a suggestion of a type of bean that we could try next year that would be great.
Yes- her hair looks like that most of the time. No wonder my mom used to call me "raga-muffin" all of the time!

What a doll! We haven't tried growing beans, so I don't know what to tell you...but next year we want to try some snap peas (we eat a lot of stir fry) - I'll let you know how it goes:)
I'm totally laughing at the part about Sydney only eating white foods - I immediately pictured a marshmallow sandwich:)
My kids are the same way. We have found that before dinner they take a stroll of the garden with dad and eat anything they find. Then we come in for dinner and I don't mind so much that they skip the veggies. They refuse to eat it if its on a plate but if you get it from a plant....YUM.
