Paydirt!
By RickMeasham | July 30, 2008
On April 22 2007 I planted some pumpkin seeds. Before Jack was even conceived!
The pumpkin seeds grew into shoots, then into vines then into .. well .. not much. Not a single pumpkin did we reap.
In January 2008, Jack was born.
In June 2008, the pumpkin vine died .. only to reveal that there was a single pumpkin growing right there in the middle of it all!
Jack is now 6 months old so it’s time to start him on vegetables.
How fantastic it is that his first taste of vegetables come from our own garden. I can proudly say: I tilled the soil, planted the seed, watched it grow, harvested the fruit, peeled, sliced and cooked it. Mashed it up, froze it, defrosted it, and finally today: fed it to Jack.

OK, so that’s not quite as cool as his mum who took that single cell from me and turned it into this amazing little kid.

The biggest question in this saga is: did he like it or did he spit it out…? : )
