Harvest Time

We did a little harvesting of some of our garden over the weekend. Matt and Isaac dug some red potatoes. You don't know if you are going to get red potatoes or white when you start digging. When the potatoes were planted Isaac and Isabella just dropped potatoes them into the holes Matt dug. There was no rhyme or reason. It will always be a surprise when you dig them up this way.

Then, we picked the first four rows of corn that Matt and Isaac planted first. Isaac stuck it out the longest helping us get the corn husks off. Isabella mainly played in the sandbox and only helped with a few. At the end they both found it was a lot more fun to parade around the yard carrying tall corn stalks and chasing each other with them. However, by this time I wasn't clicking pictures any more. I was elbow deep in corn silks and husks!

Isabella wanted to know what was inside.
I told her it was a surprise she had to unwrap.

Isaac was very intrigued to find that some little worms also liked to eat sweet corn and some of them were still munching.
