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.
