Vegetable Stand

Nate has wanted to do a lemonade stand, a limeade stand, a boat building stand and it goes on. Today we compromised on a veggie stand. I let him have all the produce he wanted as long as he picked it. After two hours of picking and sign making he was ready. Here are some pics of the fun. He had two customers, (thank you for coming!) and was quite pleased with the entire process. Perhaps we will do it again sometime.

He decided to pick beans. For some reason he just sat down in the middle of them. I can tell I have picked enough this year - I shrugged that his bum was on my plants and went to get the camera.


His amphibian assistant.

The sign. It took a lot of work to keep that in place with the wind.

I wish that we lived closer we would have bought him all out. The vegetables look delicious! For the first year we tried square foot gardening, and it has not been such a success. Our seedlings were eaten by rabbits and now the enormous tomato bushes loaded with green tomatoes are not ripening. Ugh! We need a few pointers and a sunnier place in the yard. I love reading your blog and keeping up with your cute family.

What an impressive garden! And what an impressive stand! I can't believe there wasn't a line down the street! Hopefully those 2 customers bought lots of veggies :)

So cute. Love it! We have the perfect location for that, right on the walking trial and busy street. Although I bet the walkers don't carry a lot of cash.
