Taming the jungle

It takes a lot of hard work to clear out the garden.Jacob has been cutting and clipping back the weeds.
He discovered that someone was eating the Virginia Creeper.

I wonder what kind of caterpillar this is. What sort of butterfly will it grow up to be?

Digging in the Garden

It is time to dig up the garden beds. Granddad is working hard on his garden. "Dig? I can do that" says Socks.

"I'll just make some nice holes over here."

Do you think Socks is going to plant things in her holes?

Tomato Time

August is tomato time. It's time to pick ripe red tomatoes. Some are big, and some - like this one that Jacob picked - are small.
Some people get silly in tomato time.
It's time to slice some tomatoes and eat them!
They taste better in August than in any other time of the year.
