Something about growing your own veggies makes them so much tastier when you eat them. We grew these gigantic cucumbers and the boys and I were eating them last week and will do again next week, just whole, as a snack. They are crunchier, tastier, they just feel so fresh, so real, and so ours. I love growing veggies with my kids, showing them the magic of nature and life, getting them to work to harvest their food – I just love it. This summer we grew tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, basil, cilantro and radishes!
