Jen's tomatoes are flowering right now, so we tried on some tulle bags to see if they would work as tomato contraceptives. In the meantime Lily and Rose conducted a garden tour for me, danced, slithered in the grass, hung out of trees, and performed somersaults.
Jen and Mark are longtime backyard organic gardeners who are committed to growing, buying and eating local as much as possible, and that commitment includes passing on their considerable combined knowledge to their children.

| Jen plants her lettuces so that they are protected by the shade of a box elder growing at the back of their garden. Look at those glorious shades of green and red. |

| This year the girls have their very own sandbox teepee that will soon be covered by the peas and beans planted in the raised beds surrounding the play area. |
